To be clear, it is NOT mine. Its a picture my niece and I pass back and forth every autumn as a statement on over the top decorating. Slightly aspirational…

As was evident in my comment, I think it actually looks nice & inviting.
This coming from a resident whose house is never decorated for anything

Wow! That is pretty snazzy! In my neighborhood it wouldn’t last an evening. The deer would have those pumpkins rolling down the street as they tried to eat them and the candles would be catching the dried leaves on fire. 
When we do put candles out, we use the battery operated ones.

Ooooh - that’s gorgeous! ETA: Unless you’re slightly tipsy and trip into one of the lit candles. THAT could be a problem. 
Or you just have terrible balance and trip over one of the pumpkins. Not that I know anyone like that.

And then fall over and light your hair or costume on fire. 
I don’t WANT to be that person, but the older I get, the more the knees give out when I least expect it. LOL

Same. As aggravating as the internet in general and Facebook in particular can be, the funnies occasionally make up for it.

Watching British, Irish or Scottish tv shows we have been struck by how often people are offering or are offered tea, or how often tea and its preparation & consumption are mentioned. It truly seems absolutely essential in every person’s life

It’s very much an important part of Japanese culture as well. Even to the point that if you want to go have coffee with someone, you don’t ask them if they want to have coffee with you, but you ask them if they want to have tea with you. And the Japanese word for a coffee shop is “kissaten” (喫茶店) which means a shop to drink/enjoy tea.

Right. If I cared for tea at all, it would be fascinating to experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony some time. My sis and BIL will be traveling to Japan & Korea in October — perhaps they’ll have the chance to.
