Christmas Decorating Outdoors

It is now winter
Fall season ended
Some leaves on trees
The people are outside
Decorating trees
Outside their homes

When the lights are done
In darkness they glow
Making the darkness 
Brighter for waking
People would be strolling
To enjoy the lights

A lit up Christmas tree outside gives lots of heartfelt joy to people walking by - I think you live in Canada, not sure though. EUROPE, AMERICA AND CANADA are the countries and continents that mostly do it, although in recent years South Africa seems to have increased in joining in this awesome custom, lit trees outside somehow brighten Christmas up, so much more. Beautiful write my friend. Hugs and love, Jennifer.
