Favourite Christmas item of the day: christmas lights


I'm going to go ahead and take one of the best Christmas items. Because I cannot wait any more days to say how much I love Christmas lights. I can't truly feel the Christmas spirit until they are up and my housemates and I just hung a string of Christmas lights inside our house around a window. Its so wonderful to turn them on at night and have that be the only light in the room. That's maybe my favourite part of Christmas. Think of how many moments you gather with different people for the sake of those twinkling lights.
Some really special ones:

1. hanging the exterior lights with my pappy and my siblings
2. decorating the tree with my mum
3. driving and walking down avenues with my best friends looking at them
4. photographing the aura they provide- because really, you can't capture all that much of what it feels like at Christmas. but lights make me feel I can.
5. those one on one present exchanges with only the tree lights on, a cup of cocoa and the fire going

I love Christmas.
