Window watching

Christmas evening I used to take a walk with mum and my siblings through the streets and we peeped into other peoples houses how the christmas tree was standing, what they were doing and discussed, that we were sure to have a merrier time at our home. I never ever wanted to change with another family. Dad meanwhile errected his full belly in the air, read and was happy to have some quiet time. Nowadays you can hardly see anything as everyone has these barricading shutters.
