From tree lighting ceremonies to elaborate decorations, the holidays are always a big moment for Main Street.

Walking around downtown always feels a little more special in December, when the trees are wound with lights and the storefronts glow a little brighter. It extends beyond Main Street, too -- to the holiday concerts at local schools and churches, and to that one home with truly extravagant holiday decorations that everyone in town makes sure to drive by.

We want to hear from you -- how does your town celebrate the holidays?

All over North America, towns decorate their main streets with tinsel and lights, businesses prepare for their busiest season, hot chocolate sales go through the roof, and children perform for their parents and neighbors.

But every town does things differently -- how does yours come together to celebrate the holidays?

From the Main Street Matters™ Team, happy holidays!
