I started to see the symbol what they met. The meaning behide putting the lights up was showing you care to take the time and to lift people's spirits around this time a year. That this time of year is about spending time with family and love ones that the lights being put up lift peoples spirits by seeing them even though all time it take to put them up that it is well with it.
Now I taken the time to travel hrs always to hang light up for my fiancée on her house. How I find the joy in putting them up.
