As I was walking along the walkway just before dawn, three Santa dolls climbing a ladder were hanging on a large camphor tree.  I unconsciously took a picture with my smartphone  as thinking that it was so cute.  What are these Santas going to do from now on?  I’m sure they will make this big camphor into a Christmas tree.  We get depressed by Corona and Corona these days, but how comfortable it is just to see such a scene.  And how much our dreams will spread.  We can imagine a nice person who hung this Santa dolls. And thank you for him or her.

まだ明けやらぬ散歩道を歩いていたら、大きな楠に梯子を登るサンタ人形が掛かっています。あまりの可愛さに思わずスマホで写真に撮りました。このサンタ達はこれからどうしようとするのか。きっとこの大きな楠をクリスマスツリーに仕立て上げるに違いありません。コロナコロナで気が滅入る昨今ですが、こんな光景を見るだけでもどれだけ心安まることか。そしてどれだけ夢が広がることか。このサンタ人形を掛けてくれた人の人柄が偲ばれますし、感謝です。
