CHRISTMAS SPIRIT...

#AbFav_MONTH_of_DECEMBER_🎀

 

I upload this image each December, because it means a lot!

I had to dig deep for that one, in every sense, it was a very special, moving and private moment.

We had a photo gallery and it was shortly before Christmas.

I was doing the window dressing, and had decided, since Christmas is greatly connected with children, to use that as a theme.

I bought one of the electrical Santas holding a candle, moving his head, with a very kind and jolly face, totally new then, a huge success, kids kept dragging their parents to see it.

It was in the morning, cold and drift-snow flying, nobody in the streets yet, although the angels were already singing the carols over the tannoy (loudspeakers in the street).

Santa was doing his thing, I was giving the framed images a last wipe, when I heard a gentle thump and I looked up to see this sweet tender moment.

This elderly gent stood there, looking with the joy and wonder of a child in his eyes.

I grabbed my camera from the chair, I saw I had one shot on a grainy 400 asa film left to take this one off image, I did not know how long he was going to brave the elements, I took the photo... it turned out he stood gazing for quite some time.

Then he spotted me, nodded at me, we smiled and he was gone, a very emotional moment!

ONE SHOT!!!

Always keep the child in a small corner of your heart, never let go of that wonderful feeling...

 

May your day be full of goodness, Magda (*_*)
