We don't have Christmas trees here. In the city. At all. Everywhere there are only pines, and they are so pathetic that, in order to create a New Year's atmosphere, you either have to generously cover them with tinsel or buy an artificial one (And if you choose the latter, you also don't have to suffer from the pangs of conscience about killing an innocent creature...).
But it's better with the snow. Two years ago, the snow covered the ground like... like a carbon copy. Last year, there was snow only in the fall. This year, there are snowdrifts up to your knees:) It's impossible to walk without tripping. I've been sick a couple of times, and now I'm sitting here with frostbitten hands).
So back off your rules,
Back off your jive!
Cause I'm sick of not living,
To stay alive,
Leave me alone!
I'm not asking a lot -
I just don't want to be controlled,
That's all I want.
All I want!(с)The Offspring
