what a wonderful time it is
so much happiness and joy!
all those little businesses are busy
since they will be closing soon.
we peer in various shops
is there anything else we need?
no, we think we have everything
let’s run home now!

This photo shows a snowbound scene from a street in Quebec, Canada. There are Christmas trees outside almost every home and they are sprinkled with snow. People, warmly dressed are going about their business.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #318 photo prompt.

What a joyful and festive scene your poem describes. Love its vibes. Thanks for joining in Chris.

We know there are many difficult places around the world sadly. It is so sad and hard. Meanwhile, you have said I might like a white Christmas… but no, not for me, unless I watch an old film like White Christmas with Bing! 😉🥰

How cool…or should I say cold? We don’t have snow in Fresno (maybe once every 10-15 years or so) but it’s sure been cold here! I guess it could be considered a white Christmas if you count the fog as white. ☃️❄️

Ooh, it is rather chilly in Fresno, since I just looked on my laptop – today it’s 9C or 48F and some foggy weather will be coming to you. I also saw that the last time it snowed was on December 19, 1998 – how about that! 🌡️😊
