Description
We made a quick trip into town at lunchtime just to have a peep at the seasonal unpleasantness.
It wasn't as bad as it can be, and we found a place to have coffee with NO MUSIC! Magic!
But these chaps seem to be having a great time....

Don't you think it's sad when people are so busy with the "gotta have more" rules we have put on Christmas. It seems many have forgotten about love and the blessings most have.
Very telling capture of today's world.
Shopping is serious business; I try to stay out of shops this time of year, even going to the grocery can be a complicatedly unpleasant affair! I love the lights on the houses, but that's about it...
Exquisite image,
Nice shot , I like the dig fiddle.
HA yes some people are so busy shopping, this time of the year, that they look like zombies. I like the two ghosts LOL !
My kind of stall.
"Its almost Christmas and we have shopping to do. So grab your coat and let's get this over with." Ah, yes, happy holidays. The one fellow looks like he is yelling at the other one. An outstanding image although I'm not sure fruits and vegetables qualify as seasonal excess. Another benefits for the non-religious.
It appears that someone didn't get up on the right side of the bed this morning.
Great capture and postwork
Stressful times, hurrying from here to there. Great candid and what a fine selection of fresh produce!
some great responses...I agree with Krittermom, Denise, and Helle, and love what Mark said. Yes, fruits and vegetables do not qualify as seasonal excess, and maybe if these two 'gray guys' looked to their left, they'd smile a little. (Those are healthy looking veggies, esp for Dec. And what are "satsumas"? Did I just show how little I know?) I love how you grayed out the two least happy looking shoppers of the bunch---and you gave them the Andrea treatment: Ie, you colonized their faces and hands into your topographical areas and maps. Great job graying them out without any artifacts or signs of your manipulations. Maybe they're just plain exhausted. And, with their demeanors, you got "Health On Line" above. Great that you included that! A delightful shot, even if it's a far-from-delighted bunch of shoppers. We need more of these shots during the season, to cut through the heaviness of the commercial side of this season. And, while I love carols in their original form (ie, small, folk-like, medieval, renaissance, etc), if I hear one more musak version of "Deck the Halls," i'm gonna sue the entire western Hemisphere...I love your shots of commercial craziness, they're right on the money...
Great work! :-)
Yep they do look grumpy!!
