Santo Domingo.– Christmas joy is already in the air. Although some Dominicans are still waiting for the deposit of the long-awaited double salary, the atmosphere in the streets, shops and commercial establishments begins to move with enthusiasm and a spirit of celebration.

In squares, supermarkets, and popular businesses, the flow of people making their first purchases, making lists, looking for offers, and setting aside their little gifts is already noticeable. “Excellent, his double salary is already going here. Mine is still for Monday. But we have to start now”, said Mrs. Luz Hidaria Sosa with a laugh, while choosing Christmas decorations.

Even though not everyone has received their gifts, the excitement for this special time infects everyone. “Christmas, with or without money, you have to live it, because that’s the beauty of life. Everything for the birth of baby Jesus, which one carries in the heart, but you also have to have something to give, to share, for solidarity,” expressed Mr. Germán Ramón de Jesús Andújar, wishing much happiness to all Dominican families.

Because, as the grandfather used to say: “Merry Christmas, and may the breeze bring blessings.”

Other citizens share the same optimism while they wait for the deposit to arrive in their accounts. “Good afternoon, the double salary hasn’t arrived, but we are waiting for it, on its way to arrive,” commented León del Mateo, who admitted that although he still hasn’t been paid, “we can already feel the Christmas breeze”.
