December 03 Santa Claus will come... some night
Sooner or later all the atmosphere start to change. Maybe is some kind of evil plan made it by all the companies, maybe is because after all we are in the end of the year, maybe is just because we enjoy it. All the shopping malls, all the great avenues, the house of my neighbors, all start to be totally on green, with little lights, and all the kids are thinking if they were enough good during the year. I think even us, because we always keep a little kid inside. How is here? Very different from the north part of the world. We don't have snow, maybe we forgot also the real meaning of such days. Days are very hot indeed, and all the people are running as fast as they can for prepare all for that night. Of course, always we forgot somebody, and when that person come we just feel miserable because we don't have any gift. Is all about gifts? Here the answer is YES. OK, OK, very consumer way to celebrate something with so deep meaning, even if you are not Catholic or Christian. I'm not catholic or Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim, or Buddhist, I don't feel a close connection with a religious way to celebrate any holiday, but also I'm against such race against time for spend the money you don't have because all the time the TV is remembering you how bad person you are if you don't give a expensive gift. For me is about to spend time with the people you love, and to think about all those who are not with you. Is a beautiful excuse for have a nice dinner with your family, and be a kid again waiting for some magical being who come once per year to your home. Is not about snow and deer, not here, although some poor old guys are working with clothe for European winter during the Chilean summer. Uf! many things to say. For now if somebody is reading this piece of paper inside a bottle, maybe is a good idea to tell how is Christmas in different countries. So, now is turn for some post. Now I have to write my letter to "El Viejito Pascuero" (here the name for Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Pere Noel, etc) |
