Festive Moments

Time to tour the best Christmas-decorated places in town With a map in hand of all the beautifully lit-up houses to be found Despite the amount of time to set up and to take down the people have given us a wonderful gift for all of us to enjoy Whole streets have banded together to create a visual spectrum of flashing lights and creative characters that bring smiles to all the girls and boys Carollers can be seen going door to door singing songs full of joy On the rooftops, Santa and his reindeer seem to be in control of the night, ready to deploy As if like magic the clouds open up sending a burst of snow floating down Soon the lawns will have a blanket of snow without so much as making a sound In the living rooms, trees with their colorful attire show off to the people walking by A large crowd has gathered at the end of the block, jolly old Saint Nick handing out candy canes and looking spry Christmas may come once a year but joy and happiness need to be spread every day As you walk by a neighbor who has decorated his place a special thanks should surely come his way
