In small villages in America, they have a tradition.

Every year, they light up the Christmas lights together. All the people gather around the Christmas tree and then they pick a person who presses the button and the whole village is covered in lights and Christmas spirit.

After lightninging up the village, people celebrate. There is always good eggnog and some hot cocoa. Sometimes, there is even Santa's little town. Kids can meet Santa Claus and tell him all their secret wishes.

There are also carol singers who bring joy and memories back to people. They sing songs like Jingle bells, Deck the halls, and similar.

And of course, there are Christmas cookies. It would not be the same without them. Each family can make their own recipes, bake cookies and then sell or exchange them on the Christmas fair.

I really like all of those Christmas traditions. Maybe I am going to try carolling next year😊.
