Christmas time




Christmas time has arrived and with it, a bombing of ad perfumes and toys, Christmas shopping, plentiful meals, families’ reunions, holidays for some fortunate people, and of course, thousands of children waiting for their presents. That‘s Christmas, don’t you think?

In spite of it, I admit I like Christmas. I like the atmosphere make it by the shops in order to sell more. I like the commercial centres and streets decoration... But this year I realised there isn’t the Christmas environment as it used to be, I mean, where I live there isn’t much lighting and it seem people takes seriously this matter of saving (in fact, there are many reasons to do it). They don’t want to spend so much, they watch carefully prices and that’s perfectly understandable. Many people were made redundant during the second half of the year, so they can’t afford to continue with the rhythm of this consumer society.

Anyway, I just want to wish Merry Christmas!!!
