I get the light up houses every year if I like the contents (yes to biscuits or chocolates, no to tea) and the look and colour, and now have a little village I put across the bottom of my fireplace at Christmas. The lights are still going after 3 or 4 years of evening use over the 3 weeks they're on show. I picked up some in the sale and a couple in a charity shop (empty) for 99p!
