Christmas lights, a symbol of Christmas cheer, bring much joy and delight during the cold days of winter. The Christmas lights come in all shapes, sizes and colors, ranging from small white lights to colorful, festive blinking lights. During this special time of year, many people decorate their homes with these kinds of lights. Often, these lights are hung from roofs, trees and other fixtures outside the home. Some people take their Christmas light displays even further and place lights in their lawns or even wrap trees with strings of lights. Christmas lights not only bring cheer to individual homes, but they also help liven up the atmosphere of entire towns and city neighborhoods. Many communities put up light displays in parks, on public buildings and even down streets. The light displays not only add to the festivity of the season, but they also often draw visitors from all around. Though they seem to sparkle only briefly each holiday season, Christmas lights will always be a beloved, traditional symbol of the holidays. The lights bring joy to all who see them, a bright and colorful reminder of the spirit of the season.
