Back when I was a kid, times were tough, we were lucky to be able to buy a Christmas tree and my parents were roaming around the city for days to be able to buy some Christmas candies and sweets to put into our Christmas gift bags.

In our country, free public transportation also happens often. Take note that it is "often," not daily or regularly. Most of the time, politicians use that tactic to advertise themselves. What a crocodile country to live in!
