Families have big dinners in the middle of the day. Most stores are closed although some drugstores stay open. Newscasters always update us on where Santa is flying. That's usually on the 7 o'clock news. Churches have midnight masses and some people go to that.
People decorate their houses with lights-some like colored lights, some little white lights.
The bushes are decorated too. Some people have a little electric candle in each window and that looks pretty too. Wreaths are hung on the doors and I've even seen cars with wreaths on the grill in front of the car. In Arizona where they don't have big trees, they decorate the cactus and the palm trees. The day after Christmas is a big shopping day because they have big sales and people return some of their gifts.
