Decorating the House Outside

Before the snow  spreads
Or it gets colder outside
Everyone decides to trim
Their homes on the outside
If they have bushes lights 
would be put onto bushes
Or a bare tree dressed in 
colorful lights
Some lights would be red-
green,white,blue
Others would be red, green
All on a bare naked tree
These lights would be shinning
All houses on the street
Decorated in their own style
Row on rows of pretty lights
In the darkness breath taking
          delight
