I just got back from the province to visit my mom. And I chose to
travel by bus as this is cheaper and I was bringing home a bike for my
brother.
On the road, I noticed that most houses and establishments no longer
displayed parols and Christmas lights. In the past, just about each
house would have Christmas decor as early as November. But it's already
December and there was a scant number of houses and establishments with
decorations.
Maybe there are still decorations inside the homes (like the Christmas tree in our house), but
the only way to know would be to peer into each and every house. Even
our little town has few houses that are dressed for the occasion. I
guess hard times have come and people have cut down on the decor.. But
it just feels sad to see how weak the Christmas spirit has become in our
country..
I wonder if there would be fewer kids singing carols as well?
