Christmas lights are going up and trees are being decorated, but the spirit of Christmas seems to have been forgotten as people were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall.
Even though Christmas lights are going up and trees are being decorated, the spirit of Christmas seems to have been forgotten, while people were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall.
Well done.
But, Olena, I'm not sure that "while" is the best choice. Consider something like "as" or "for".
I was considering using "because". I opted out to use while in the meaning "during the time that; at the same time as." Wasn't it correct?
