Christmas time is a showcase of great decorations in America, even a competition for some with neighbors; like most things American. All in all, it is a fascinating sight to behold. It snowed heavily yesterday in this area and is making for a perfect white Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone from the land of Donald Trump and Joe Biden!

Some houses owners have really dramatic decorations complete with a FM radio broadcast with their own selected Christmas songs. People come from far and near to view them.

Some use what they have or something simple, for some its all out.

More pictures.

For some its a religious experience, others just the Holidays.

Most do the decorations themselves; others hire professionals especially when it involves the roof..

More pictures.

Some have giant Santas ( Father Christmas).
The entirety of some streets is lit up; some streets just a few houses.

Many leave their lights on all night, some have timers that put them off after a few hours to save electricity costs.

The snow brings out a lot of the beauty of the decorations; although in most parts of the south it does not snow much and in a few parts like tropical Florida, it does not snow at all.
Merry Christmas is becoming a very political word in the last few years. Some, moving away from Christianity or non Christians dont like hearing it. To them December is also the time for Hanukka ( Jewish holiday), Kwanzaa ( Black holiday) and other holidays-so they want Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas for all the whole of December.
To core Christians and those on the political right; its another attack on Christianity, western values and America!!!

Beautiful thread, thanks for sharing

Thankyou.

More pictures. All that snow you see in the pictures fell in just one day, almost 1 meter; the lawns had grass yesterday (although dead grass, since its winter). People spent lots of time and hard work clearing out their driveways either with shovels or mechanical snow blowers.

Don't try this in Nigeria if you dey use prepaid meter.

Premium tears.

Many of the decorations are deeply scriptural, others are secular or less biblical.

Most Americans sure Know how to make Christmas beautiful. Christmas night are always memorable, lots of beauty sights to behold and lovely Carol's in the air, Also the much cherished Santa's gift at stores. There is joyfulness everywhere.

Happy xmas everybody.

Its Christmas Day!

People used to start putting up their decorations some days before Christmas; then it was on December 1st, then after the Thanksgiving holidays which is the last Thursday in November. This year, people were putting up decorations after Halloween which is October 31st!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

I observed road construction still ongoing.

Not sure which picture. But those are not untarred roads in the picture, just snow covered roads, makes it look untarred!

But roads are maintained every year and re constructed about every 3 to 5 years. The drastic change in temperature in that part of the USA means it can be 23 Degrees in the morning on Tuesday and 0 Degrees Celcius the next day. This makes the roads contract and expand leading to potholes during late winter and cracks; so as soon as Winter is over all the way to the beginning of the next winter (like now) construction is ongoing.

Lovely.

Beautiful pictures.

They don't really measure the amount of electricity you use down here in Nigeria except you use prepaid. Nepa still uses estimated billing in most areas in Nigeria.

Most of these leftists have become too woke and political correct for their own good. They hate Christianity so much then Simp for Islam. The hypocrisy is appalling.

Bunch of idiots, but they won't succeed. America was built on religious liberty and will remain that way whether they like it or not!

Christmas is a beautiful thing and anyone against it is not right upstairs. Fucking Liberals.
