Two weeks to go until the Christmas. This season most of autumn leaves have dropped. Last week I gathered them and put them into the recycling bin. We may use autumn leaves for a bonfire. In UK it is illegal to burn rubbish outside though. Today’s children song is called [Takibi]. It might be nice to cook fishes or meats with a bonfire, gathering around the bonfire and enjoy wining and dining in the winter.
Takibi (A bonfire)
It is very simple melody. Hope you feel warmer inside your body after listening the song.
