Like if everyone sleeps during the year, they wake up on December. Closing deals and negotiating becomes faster on December, everyone running for leave behind the old year. Everyone knows that next January no one will even answer a call. From 12 months of the year, the one I like more on BA is December, weather gets warmer, and the spirit of people becomes more active, they answer my calls! And almost everyone it's interested on doing some business and go ahead, almost as they do in the US (almost) On the streets I can feel the stress some people have, and many because of consumism frustrations. X-mas it's the major hollyday in Argentina, and because of catholic influence some things as eating heavy stuff (almonds, chocolate, etc) in summer time it's a tradition as those poor guys wearing santa claus uniforms with an incredible heat indise.

I've made a video about this week and I hope it reflects crazyness on BA.

The singer is Luca Prodan, an italian expat just as I, and the lyrics reflects the melancoly for being far from his family and roots.

Marry Christmas to everyone.
