After Christmas Sales

I went shopping in the U.S expecting about huge sales last year. I moved around to buy something what our family need in New York city and Boston city after Christmas. I was not satisfied with shopping as much as what I anticipated. My kids complained to me that they were very tired and they didn't want to follow me. So I had to give up shopping. Unlike what I expect huge sales, the price was not reasonable. I thought the purchasing in Canada was better on sales if we considered the gas cost and the rate of exchange money. There is a Korean proverb, "there is no food in the big and famous party."  That meaning may be same this phrase "For better or for worse."
I know the store to buy something very very cheap. That store is near our living area anywhere. It might be a good news to all saviors. I went there, thrift shop in my school's trip. Of course, the captain was Joseph. All stuffs are used one but if they are necessary to someone, whatever it is new one or used one, it doesn't matter. I picked up the shin guard which brand is Adidas, snow sleigh, baseball glove which is made of the leather, and some toys. If  I buy all stuffs new one, I might pay more than two hundreds dollars. I paid less than ten dollar. What a real huge sales it was!  

Happy Christmas

We can watch the various Christmas celebration event in all over the world through TV. I am used to see and enjoyed these celebrations as my religion is catholic. When I was young, I thought all people enjoy Christmas when they were listening the carol and they were happy with a lot of gifts and beautiful cards. As I grown up, I have understood Christmas weren't meaningful any more and weren't precious any more to those who don't have the same religion like me. When I know that fact, I was very embarrassed. Why didn't they enjoy these good things? I would like to share this pleasure with feeling love and peace each other.
I think I am lucky because my surrounding was opened to catholic. I have a happy memory on Christmas. When I was in primary school, I got up early in the morning on Christmas as the door bell. My brother opened the door, and a boy who was my classmate didn't say his name and he asked my brother to pass a small gift and card to me. Like this, giving the card and gift is popular on Christmas overseas as well as in Canada.
