It has become clear that Ukraine is not exactly a place where health & safety come first.
Yet, I still get a chuckle out of the surprising examples of this....
(Note: the dude dangling from a single rope on the side of a building in the front - not sure a buddy in the window would be enough to make me feel safe)
I also wouldn't call Ukraine particularly focused on frivolous fun
So, as someone who loves everything festive, I applaud the guys "topping out" the new house across the street (putting a celebratory tree on top) - even if it does seem like tempting fate to balance so precariously while doing it
(A common construction ceremony at a structure's completion - apparently evolved from a Scandinavian custom of putting a branch on the top of a building, to appease the tree-dwelling spirits of the displaced ancestors)
And, having not generally seen many traces of Christmas cheer until late December, I was excited about the early signs in my favorite grocery store this week
Including a near life-sized Santa.....
(could be yours for ~$250)
A Christmas tree & draping being installed....
The noteworthy part being the clear priority given to festivity over safety
Gotta applaud the bravery balancing on the very top wrung, with carts and people squeezing by - all in the name of festive holiday spirit!
So, here's to showcasing festive & fun
...AND, let's all agree to wear our seat belts
Cheers!
