So much for a cruisy last few weeks of work, filled with Christmas parties and secret Santa!

I’m still in shock that another year has passed, I’m within 20 days of being in my LATE twenties, and we’ve almost finished a decade of the new century.

I’m going to save my christmas roundup post for next week, but just wanted to mention how wonderful it is to see streets full of festive revelers and happy people. I just hope that everyone who really struggled this year has managed to find a little christmas cheer.

And for those who are full of bah humbugs, stop for a minute and take stock of all the wonderful things in your life. Christmas isn’t about presents or stress or family conflict, it’s your one chance to put all that behind you and have a bit of a blast and appreciate all that is good in the world.

We just don’t do it enough.
