...but Christmas lights are so beautiful, Steve!!! :)

Money, money, money…

Exactly. Excess consumption, excess waste, ersatz emotion.

What else?

Es weihnachtet sehr ...

True every year, cammino!

You’re such a Romantic, sometimes, Armando!

I'm, Steve! :)

It is of course a time of excess Armando, but I like to see beautifully decorated shopping centres that bring a touch of atmosphere. It is nice to wander and people watch. It is funny that the actual shoppers often seem stressed and don't smile a lot yet the ones soaking up the festive atmosphere smile and linger to enjoy the displays.

Happy Christmas to you and your lovely wife and family

I like the Christmas atmosphere as well, Carol! Best season greetings for you and Roger!

Thanks for fave, Bruno Suignard!
