Christmas Lights

Christmas lights bring a sparkle into my heart that make me feel warm inside. Looking at them up close they don’t look so pretty and it makes you wonder why we like them so much. But when put up on the Christmas tree, or hung on the house and in the yard they make things so much brighter and prettier. It’s as if they are winking and smiling, and it makes you smile in return. There is something about them that just makes one want to dance among them and let rip a joy within one that is strange and wonderful at the same time. I guess that is what Christmas does to you. It makes you unexplainably happy; perhaps it is the thought that the Christ child was born and that he came to make our happiness possible. Perhaps that is what makes Christmas lights so wonderful.
