write about one symbol of the holidays that has particular meaning to you
it may seem obvious, but i think the manger/nativity scene is the most meaningful symbol of the season. there are so many symbols associated with the commercial side of the holidays - santa, christmas trees, snowmen, candy canes, wreaths, etc. These are all great, but there are far too few that focus on what's important.

take a close-up shot of angles of our holiday symbol
Christmas is represented by so many symbols (tree, star, santa, reindeer, candles, wreaths, snowmen, etc), but I think this ornament says it all. It's been a favorite of mine since I purchased it several years ago. Though I don't remember exactly where I got it (unusual for me), I was struck by its beauty and still am today.
{do}
attend christmasville (our town's christmas festival).
yesterday, the four of us headed downtown to enjoy some of the christmasville festivities (we didn't do quite as many as usual).
{make}
make your home and yard beautiful with white christmas lights
last night, matt got many of the outside lights put up: the icicles, my new trees that go on each side of the door, and the bushes.
{remember}
do you have any traditions or rituals placing meaningful symbols or decorations in your home?
i remember mom always putting up a nativity scene. but other than that, i'm kind of drawing a blank.
