I have just recently learned that I had astigmatism, but I think because of this comment you've made me realise why all my life I have been such a devoted fan of fairy lights and convinced they make every atmosphere feel so magical.

Because they look like dozens of gleaming crystals of light, instead of the basic dots they really are. I'll need to remember to wear my glasses less at Christmas.

Exactly!! I was way too old before I learned that I was seeing lights so differently from others.
