Have you started decorating your house with ********* lights?

1 Answer

Answer :

No! For me it just too early for now. I still have many things I am still working on, and so I won't have that time for decoration in preparation for *********. I seriously look forward to start decorating my home as soon as possible probably as December sets in. There is nothing I love more than seeing the beautiful display of ********* decorations. They really get me in an ecstatic mood as I look at them. Moreover, it has been our family culture to always have our home in top notch shape for *********. For this very reason, I won't fall short in also imbibing the tradition which I grew up to respect and practice as well. Another main reason why I haven't started the decoration is the fear of everything getting messed up before the eventful day. There is this probability of the decorations gathering dusts as well as been ruined by overzealous kids. Owing to this fact, I often like to set things rolling as the main day seems to be pretty closer.
