Christmas Downtwn?

I took the bus downtown yesterday evening and got off to a place that I had not seen before. The buildings were the same. The street signs and names unchanged. The feel that came over me though, I had never had shared with that space. It was a Christmas emotion

"It is an overwhelming joy that spreads all around me and the area I'm occupying. The so called joy is on the happy side on the emotion spectrum, but is a private category to itself. Does this make sense? If not, that is fine, because really it hard to explain or understand myself."

It sounds similar to the feeling I get when I hear Christmas Carols, it makes me quite emotional. For me I am sure it's something to do with happy childhood memories being triggered in my mind.

You may be on to something. Christmas lights in a crowded place may trigger this response. I don't want to dwell on the subject to hard; the magic has a way of ending if you do, but I will keep it mind for next year. I hope this will be a lifelong adventure.

As for Christmas Carols, there are very few memories in the states that I can recall. Uncultured, yet powerful, we still are the new world.
