Decorating Our Homes For Christmas
Few weeks before Christmas most of the people are starting to decorate their homes with Christmas ornaments. Some of us decorates their entire house with lighted bulbs, others are using small or simple Christmas ornaments. And, of course, the most important thing is the decoration of Christmas tree. I have neighbors who decorates the Christmas tree in the very first days of December. Usually we decorate the Christmas tree only in 23 or 24 of December.
Today our task is to decorate "everything" is outdoor: yard, trees, bushes and doors. The problem is that not all of us are living in a house. There are many families who are living in apartments or block of flats. I'm one of those who don't live in a house, but if I would have one, and I hope one day my dream will come true, I'd decorate the yard for Christmas.

How to Start Your Task
First of all, you must decide what would you like to decorate, and of course, what ornaments will you use as Christmas decorations. Then you'll have to decide if you will use the same ornaments as last year or you will use new decorations.
When you have finished to check the ornaments, you are ready to start the work. Let's start our virtual tour in order to decorate the yard.

Yes, we have fulfilled our task - we finished to decorate the outdoor. Now, it's time to sit near the fireplace with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and take a rest. We can relax by reading a book or a poem about Christmas....
Christmas Bells
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The Carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
'There is no peace on earth,' I said;
'For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!'
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
'God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!'
