November means Christmas

The first days of November I went for a walk in the city centre and I relized that the streets were already immersed in the Christmas atmosphere. I was surprised because it was still November but it looked like it was the Christmas Eve.

Inside every shop I could listen to hear (no es exactamente equivocado dice "listen to", pero "hear" es mas comun)  Christmas songs in the background and most of them were fully decorated with flashing lights, and Christmas trees; while children looked on in the windows with awe and wonder.

I usually enjoy the Christmas atmosphere because colored lights and twinkling tinsels make the city more attractive, but as much as I love this period, I think that starting the celebrations so early detract from the true Christmas spirit.

Althought I cannot blame shops for displaying Christmas stock as early as possible because they do have to make a profit, in order to keep the business going and be able to provide people with jobs, on the other hand I don't like the exasperated Christmas hype that tries to persuade us to buy many things that we really don't need.

I hope that the Christmas period be for me is an opportunity to think more to the of others than ourselves.
