Despite it being well scheduled, with reminders appearing since before Halloween, somehow I have failed to notice Christmas creeping up on me.
I do have an excuse, what with starting a new job at the end of November and that involving a lot of travelling. Also, with my cable box I can pause live TV and then fast forward through the ads so I haven't been tempted by all that commercialisation.
But there are those who would say that in the 3 months gardening leave prior to the new job starting, I could have done a lot of preparation for Christmas. To them I say Bah Humbug.
To everyone else ( OK, in the Christmas spirit, to them also) I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
(only 1 more alarm clock 'til Christmas holidays!)
