'tis the season is the time to give, celebrate, and share joy with those you love.
I love how the whole town light up like a Christmas tree with lights and decorations right after Thanksgiving.
When she found out she won the contest, she light up like a Christmas tree - her face was so bright and happy!
We’re having a big holiday party this year - the more the merrier! The more guests, the better.
Agreeing to decorate the office on Christmas Eve felt like deck the halls - everyone was already so tired!
I thought the delivery would take weeks, but my package arrived early - Christmas came early!
