You may still be full from Thanksgiving leftovers and reeling from the frenzy of Black Friday shopping, but the holiday season has arrived. The lights, the decorations and the Christmas trees are starting to pop up across New York City. How about where you live? Our viewers have already started getting into the spirit with volunteering, decorating or simply gathering with friends and family to ring in the season. Take a moment from decking the halls and share how you’re preparing for the holidays with TODAY’s Life Illustrated.
