Walking to work the few blocks I have to travel since I live and work in town, I took delight in seeing the Christmas decorations being put in the store windows and from the light poles. Seeing the first bell ringing Santa of the year I walked over and dropped a few dollars into the pot, The Santa looked into my eyes. “Thank you sir, Merry Christmas” he said as he patted my arm. I walked on humming the song White Christmas quietly, hell it was only November 15th but the Santa got me into a good mood, a Christmas kind of mood. I walked into the coffee shop that I usually pass by and ordered a White Mint Mocha hot coffee to sip on. I got through my day without injury but work sure took away the Christmas spirit that I had earlier this morning. I walked home the same route as I came, I passed the coffee shop and could hear the bell ringer from a half block away, I dug into my pocket again hoping to regain the feeling that I had gotten this morning. There was a new bell ringer...
