I'm not religious but I totally have Christmas lights up.
[it's a fun time]
You don't have to be religious to enjoy this season. It is fun and brightly lighted in so many places. It is sure my favorite time of year and I just don't want to see it taken from us by anybody.

No one's going to take away the lights, Roy. I promise.
In my neck of the woods, the gestapo come door to door and punish Christmas celebrating with death - or at least that's what I hear they'll start doing any day now. But I'm prepared because I've barricaded myself in my house with my Christmas tree, my guns, and my illegal two weeks+ supply of food that they also want to take from me. I have Christmas lights all around this place set up like barbed wire - I'll know they're coming when I hear the sound of cracking glass. My house is lit up brighter than LAX at all times of the day and night, and I have Christmas tunes blaring through a loudspeaker. Soon, they will come for me, and if they make it past the land mines in the front lawn, I will tip the Christmas candles over and send this freaking place up in righteous flames like Waco. That's what the voices said to do. Stop or I'll shoot! Muahahahaha.
It is WINTER and all that excessive light interferes with my hibernation. Please conserve energy until spring.
The neighborhood is cheerful and downtown Boston is well decorated. The biggest thing is the spaceship like tent that brought Peter Pan. It is so big it hides City Hall to everyone’s benefit.
I have been hearing a song that is pretty old since I remember it from when I was a small boy. I think the title of it is "Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like, Christmas" and I keep wondering what that must be these days. Someone is using the song for their commercial so maybe Muslims and atheists won't take umbrage at it since it only says the word Christmas which neither of them likes that dirty word.
The streets around here are beginning to look like Christmas with all the lights and such. That is in residential areas where we still try to make like Chevy Chase in that movie. We don't have a lot of atheists and no Muslims so none of them can be against what we hicky country people do to decorate.
I am just wondering what Christmas in the cities of the nation looks like since we aren't allowed to celebrate it like we could 50 years ago. We still do but not many city people come by here to see what we do.

In my very urban city, the holidays - whichever of them you might or might not celebrate - bring with them a general feeling of good will and sharing. Some of the homes on my street are decorated with lights (mine is), most have Christmas trees in the front windows (mine does). No one considers Christmas to be a "dirty word" (where do get that divisive BS), nor do they Channukah, Kawanza, or whatever holiday that tickles another's fancy. In S. Florida the holiday season - which includes Christmas - is celebrated just like it is by you "hickey country people."
