DECORATING FOR THE SEASON

Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving are behind us, it is now time to set the house, inside and out, ablaze with beautiful colored lights, garland, ribbon and of course animated figures. This past weekend I drove around to see who was the first to put these things up to celebrate the coming of Christmas.
Some homes go all out, which I expect  shoot the electric bill sky high, while others are more conservative and do just enough decorating to show that they want to be part of the Christmas season. I saw the lights and figures of Santa, deer and other things associated with the season. The thing that I was sad not to see were any Nativity scenes reminding us that this is the birthday of Jesus.
For those of you who have not decorated yet, try to put this reminder in your decorations and remind the world what this season is all about.
