one of the small enjoyments of christmas that give me that little feeling of awe is the christmas decorations in downtown hamilton.
whether it be the 'happy holidays' sign on the highway, always shining green and red, or the elaborate florescent bows and presents on the streetlights, or the hanging signs that are meant solely to spread christmas cheer. when i used to live in downtown hamilton, my heart would lift in the slightest when i was in the car and drove past the decorations or looking from the window of the condo down into the bustling city and seeing all of the lights. now that i think of it, even when it isn't christmas, the lights of the city at night make me feel happy. the light pollution, not so much, but the cars going to and fro at night, even if i don't know a single person in those cars, its still comforting to see people bustling through the city and surrounded by lights, and maybe they're sharing my thoughts.
