Christmas Lights
When I was growing up in Brooklyn in the 1970s, everyone in my Italian neighborhood decorated for Christmas. It was very garish, which is heaven to a young child.
My daughter is almost four and she cannot get enough of lights, inflatable Santas and neon reindeer. If my husband gets home before bedtime, he scoops her up in pjs and slippers, straps her into her car seat and wheels her around American University Park, where we live, to look at the outdoor decorations. Sunday night she asked him to roll down the window so she could yell out: "Hi Santa. I love you!"
