In Which we remember the vibrant little golden epoch of New York

Good evening, sir friend, reader of this present post! How are you, this day of switching of seasons? I am okay. The month is moving fast I'd say. Last Friday we had the rememberance day for the horrendous attack of 9/11, on the World Trade Center Complex, and I also did mourn the horrendous destruction of the twin buddhas by the islamic jihadis. Such a  year of tragedies, 2001. I was around 3, and I can only remember shadows from that time, it is very flickering, but I recall the tv news and my parents having breakfast. Wrote about it on Instagram, about the loss of that beautiful monument, that in a relatively short time, as with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, went from disliked to beloved. A worthy, earnt landmark to New York's renaissance epoch, and the upcoming little and vibrant golden age of that city on the 90's, and that would last some years after the fateful event. All I can say is to remember the victims, and do not let the memory of the little golden epoch of New Y...

Picture of the week! In which we have the path of the Reindeer!

Happy Monday everyone and good morning! Happy December as well, Season's Greetings! The most beautiful time of the year! My favorite season, besides my birthday! Even when I think I'm not celebrating enough, this is nonesense though, as Christmas is supposed to be celebrated at its own rhythim! Fast or slow, it depends on you! So, how was your weekend? How are you this morning? I hope things are well and I wish you the best! For me Weekend was calm and okay! I played some games! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, and hot, so hot I gave water to my succulents, as they don't need too much water, they're desert plants, I plan on giving more water to them only the week after the next one, which means: Christmas week! Should be an awesome time for sure! And speaking of Christmas, I have a picture to share with you guys! The Path of the Reindeer, with the lyrics of the song O come O come Emmanuel following it! Hurray!



O come, o come Emmanuel
To free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice o Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel
...

This is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics with a beautiful picture following it, the path of the reindeer, where those christmas animals on Lapland live happy. I mean, of course there're reindeers out of Lapland, and they're also happy, I think so, but the thing is I love Reindeers and I love Lapland, region where some say live Santa Claus. The story behind how Santa left Italy to live on the North Pole varies from person to person, and some don't even call Santa Santa, in Poland, he is called Święty Mikołaj! (thank you Arthur Christmas), in Brazil, where I live, we call him Papai Noel! Some call him Father Winter! On an episode of my fave show, The Office, Dwight present us to his version of Santa: Belsnickel, which is an... exotic version of Santa, more tied to how sometimes Santa was portrayed in other times! You see, there is more than meets the eye, and traditions can have beautiful stories and interesting facts! I will try to come with more Christmas Facts on the next post, if I can, but anyways, thank you so much guys for being here today, means a lot, see you all next time! And happy December, Merry Christmas!
