I love Christmas because I love the decorations and our tree. We enjoy it for at least a month. I could care less about gifts, it is the spirit of the season. In our small community almost everyone decorates their lamp post so to walk around at night it feels like a wonderland. People are outside greeting each other, while most of the rest of the year many never come out. So to me it is a gift of community. On Christmas eve almost everyone sets out and lights luminaries in front of their houses. Of course, there are some people who have these great big blow up things they think are in good taste???
