christmassy
It's that time of the year again. Print shop owner across the street has put up some decorative Father Christmas + reindeers skiing prints around her shop window, also the court has a few supposedly Christmassy-looking light bulbs hanging across every shop--you won't be able to notice them if you don't look carefully. Our bookstore, however, has displayed some tiny elegant orange lights. I've seen some tacky bulbs out there, but ours has a warm glow. Lady who owns the print shop has come up with this magnificent idea of gathering the booksellers on the street to do carol singing. Not in a million years! My boss quipped, 'If you bribe me with enough Whiskey I will'. For some unknown reasons, I've been wondering where Mr Newman and the Wednesday window cleaner have been? I see them almost every week at the bookstore during summer, when they each arrive with a bag of books or a bottle of window cleaning liquid. Now they seem to have disappeared. Lastly, just want to mention the Good Gifts Catalogue I flipped through the other day. At first I thought if I had loads of money I would be more inclined to donate trees or a library. Yet what can a starving community do with words and paper? The crucial thing is to quench our thirst and hunger--good victuals it is then! Merry Christmas, everyone.
