Hello people,
Almost One week left to christmass time. Everybody is getting ready for the big event. People put lights on their house. Set up christmass ornaments and decorations on their front yard lawn. They set up chritmass trees akready ,and you can see the upper part , the tip ,of the tree as you drive or walk pass by the house. Everybody is happy and every thing is sparkly and shiny.
It is like people got together to paint the town red:))
Chritmass is in the air and people have gone to town with it :))
You see people lug heavy , awkward , bulky gift boxes all along ; not with a grim but a joy of happiness on their faces.
People nod “hi” as they walk by, more open : they are more receptive.
And above all, girls are friendlier and they welcome a small talk with a perfect stranger,and that is the part I love best in Christmass time 😉
Think Generous ,happy ,and Christmassy
Happy christmass my Dear citizens of Eslpod. The warmest wishes!!
Get Christmassy.
Yours
The puts :))
