December always has some special vibes. People love them. This is because it is the end of the year. It is time to say goodbye to the current year.

Some of us had a good year after covid-19 and wished that the year would not end so soon.

I have had a very busy social life this year. October, November, and December are packed with various kinds of events.

This is the time when people from all over the world visit us. It is pleasant and cool and we enjoy this time of the year. It is the time that inspires us to remember our friends, enjoy and relax.

Many of my friends and relatives have been visiting and returning and each one has been a very special event. Moreover, there have been weddings and dinners. These are great inspirations to share joyful moments together.

We have a big festival of Diwali in India with decorations, sweets, and presents for our family and friends and the festivities start from there and it continues till the New year.

December is very joyful because Christmas is around the corner too. India being a cosmopolitan country loves to celebrate it with a lot of fanfare.

Our restaurants and malls are full of Christmas decorations and it is time when people are buying presents, trinkets, and artifacts.

Many of my friends have Christmas trees in their homes.

Today, I went to have coffee with my friend, and there at the third wave as the cafe is called we saw the beautiful White tree decorated and we clicked a picture.

White is the international color of the season this year. It is probably because of this that it chose to decorate the tree in white and make it look different.

This morning I called up some friends in the USA and then my son too. I asked them if they were doing Christmas shopping. They said that they had to close their business accounts and personal account books and so they were very busy and had to work hard for two weeks.

After that, for the next two weeks, they would be busy relaxing and celebrating.

Some friends had already started shopping taking advantage of Black Friday Sales.

While many parts of the world are having winter, some countries like Australia will be having summer. This is a pleasant season for them too.

The prompt for this week would be The Joyful December Vibes For Us.
