Doesn't look like there's much chance it'll be anything but a grey one this year, unfortunately, but I hope you all have, or are having, or have had, a gorged and satisfactory and thankful Christian Christmas or secular christmas or Hannukah or Kwanzaa or Saturnalia or Yule or Solstice or Festivus or Decemberween or other recurrent midwinter celebration or ritual or tradition or festival or observance (depending on your personal inclinations), and a meaningful and adventure-filled and giggly New Year (regardless of any of your personal inclinations1).
The concise and inclusive version: Happy!
1 Well okay, if you're Chinese your new year is in about a month and if you're Jewish it was like two months ago and there are probably others too. Feh.
Personally, I'm celebrating as many of them as I can. Yule was pretty good, had a nice dinner with my housemates. Festivus I didn't really celebrate, but I made the epic journey home without a single train being delayed, meaning I ended up here an hour earlier than anyone expected. And tomorrow I plan to eat turkey until I explode.
To make up for it, I think I'll go to work on New Year's Eve.
Happy Christmas Ace x
