Finally, Christmas delights all with its glorious decorations . For example, the
Christmas tree is a time-honored and beautiful tradition that beautifies homes during this lovely season. Every year our family gathers at the beginning of December and together we pick out the most gorgeous tree that will enchant us over the next month. We then have a splendid time embellishing it with crystal ornaments, sparkling lights, shiny tinsel and golden ribbon. It’s a breath-taking sight to behold. Additionally, Christmas lights can be seen twinkling in the distance for miles and miles. These tiny white and multicolored lights that adorn houses, trees, and other outdoor structures serve to bring light and hope to the hearts of all. Their shining is a beautiful and constant reminder of the joy the season has to offer everyone.
Christmas offers a unique

exquisiteness through its heart-warming decorations.
