Christmas time!

This year, windows around the town have been decorated soon after Halloween. Needless saying how amazed I was. Last Saturday there have been the ceremony for the lighting up, with Santa Claus and a sort of sleigh.
Believe me, the town was stuffed with people. I couldn't even move and while waiting for an old man to pass before me in a really narrow space, a tall woman with a child on her shoulder looked at me with anger blowing out something like «I've been here before you!». I didn't even say a word, once the old man passed by, I continued my walk out of the crowd.

Christmas time, then. When everybody's happy and supposed to be nice and kind.

I bloody love this time of the year, I always wonder why they don't start at the first cold and allow us to keep lights and decorations till Spring.

Anyway, today I went out to get a pack of fags and I stopped at the local newsagent. Fate wanted Santa Claus was there too and... guess what? He gave me a lollipop!!! He must have seen I'm still a child. He made my day. I got out of the shop with a such happiness I barely touched the ground. Little things I love.

I got another satisfaction from the owner of the place I work at. Dropped down with a print of my last creation, he and the manager that was with him looked at it with that light in their eyes that you already know they like it but you have to ask anyway.

«I like everything you do, Claire,» said the owner.

I love that man. He doesn't talk that much but when he does...

Yes, Christmas. I'm already into it.
