I really like the simultaneous advent candle lighting!!<BR/><BR/>In past years we have actually had turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's so much work for both holidays.

Literally from top to bottom, in various shapes: stockings, stars, santas etc etc. Last year they had a life size light up plastic nativity set in the front garden.
