I assume you're having a wonderful festive season. Me, too. Christmas is a time for holiday leave, get-together, family business, parties etc, etc. Relaxing and full of fun. People become more caring for others.
Our sketch club went to Martin place to sketch a big Christmas tree there. A Santa Clause was giving children candies and courteously asked for donation. I love watching smiling people and working for others. Friends, do you kne? On the same spot, there's a food service for homeless people.
Some people may remember Martin Place for "Occupy Sydney." (Yes, I sketched them and uploaded at my own blog.) I did not find any police.
An event went on. Children performed great dancing on a stage! I'm sure they practised it so hard for a long time. They deserved our big applause. Very exciting and fun to sketch dancing kids!! 
Martin Place is near to Town Hall. It's a nice place for shopping, restaurants and entertainments. Young ladies are enjoying a chat with their biiig wrapped gifts. Ah, Christmas!
When I look back this year and the sketch club, I've really enjoyed the club activities. I'd heartily appreciate all the members' kindness and backstage players hard work --- you are the real heroes!!A bonus is... I'm achieving one goal, "overcome my architecture allergy"! Not easy, but slowlyʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ .
Friends, wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!Thank you for a stop at this blog and kind comments.
Hope my sketches have brought you smile.
May 2012 will be a wonderful year for you all!
