Christmas in Suburbia

People say that suburbia has no personality. Every Christmas, the neighborhoods light up. You can see the family that hates their relatives and puts up no lights. The over-achievers with a scene set to rhythmic holiday music. The family that recently had their kids go off to college and have only put up an obligatory light display. Their next door neighbor forgot and only put up a wreath. And then my house. Each window pane tells a story. Mine has snowflakes, the downstairs have small candles in the window. But to me, i think that with the hodge-podge group of people, Something is better than nothing.
