December 7 evening is the time when people turn on their Christmas lights. There are family and neighborhood gatherings with many candles and decorations. The celebrations are usually in your front yard. It may be the happiest evening in the year.
We had friends for dinner last night and I toured the neighborhood later to see the festive spirit.
December 8 is a quiet day with far less than the normal activity.
Merry Christmas,
Ed, Silvia and Carlos Andres
