Decorating for Christmas

Is it important to decorate outside for Christmas out in the boonies? Very few people will see it. The mail carrier, our neighbors next door, and maybe a visitor or two. But, then again, we like the colored lights, the lights in the windows, the wreath on the door. And that is more important. It makes the house warmer and more welcoming when we come home from work. And, it helps to get us in the Christmas spirit.

At Halloween we had no trick-or-treaters. But I was prepared, just in case. I think the kids in the area go into town to do their trick-or-treating. But we got the pumpkins and put up the scarecrow and hung the Indian corn on the door.

I will continue to decorate outside. Even if it is only for me.
