Christmas Time in the City...

...Christmas evening is coming closer and closer and therefore you can see it everywhere. Actually it really started the day after Thanksgiving as well as the famous Holiday Season with the Black Friday (the shopping day after Thanksgiving).

It's also very interesting, where the term Black Friday comes from:
"The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day. More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers go from being in the red to being in the black. (i.e., turning a profit)."

Some impressions from the city:

After finalizing my classes and before it's getting too cold in the city I will have some days off and therefore time to fly to the Bahamas and get some sun.

Nassau and Paradise Island I'm coming - it will be awesome!
