It's Christmas Eve day, both an eve and a day. A Christmas miracle!

Christmas,for the most part, these days, has lost whatever it was supposed to mean these days. Commercialism and gift buying has taken over. You join in the mad rush of finding the perfect present for just the right people, that adrenaline surge, the stress, the chaos, the worry, the penny pinching, the money budgeting, the blowing of the budget, the excitement of the entire season.

And underneath it all, all that is just toppings over the yayness of seeing your loved ones and celebrating with them. No matter what religion you are, Christmas, I believe anyway, just has that sense of goodwill that is easily caught by all, even if just a smidge.

I fall for it everytime.

Even if this is my first Christmas and New Years without my family. My 'adopted' families have made me feel loved.

Its been a long year, and I cant wait for 2007 to kick in.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. Ellen Goodman (1941 - )

Im at work. And have to present next quarter's budget in 2 hours.I am going to be stabbed by certain departments, because I have to tell them they are over budget and most allocate them lesser funds next quarter to make up for it. And cut down on petrol allowance for some dodgy marketing reps who i suspect are abusing it. I understand why accountants are hated now.

Meh.
