It’s always comforting to know that your home and its contents are well protected, whether you’re on holidays or hunkered down for the evening with a good movie and a bowl of popcorn.
You may have motion sensor lights, cameras and an intercom. But if you don’t remember to turn them on or to set the timer, they’re not doing much good.
Christmas was more primitive in the 18th and mid-19th century, but it was still Christmas – joy and fellowship were, and are, its primary expression.
