It’s that time of the year again. I haven’t even done Christmas shopping yet. For some reason I am just so far removed from the idea of Christmas. It is something that is not even remotely a fixture in my life this year. It will come and go and have little bearing.
I am looking forward to the promises that New Year holds. 2008 will be the year of the rat in Chinese astrology. I am not a believer in that, but I was born in the year of the water rat. Maybe I can have a fuzzy idea of some sort of universal good luck coming my way.
Enjoy your Festive Season and may your new year be a prosperous one.
Over n Out for this year.
PS: I've since just completed my Christmas shopping. Yes, on the very last day before Christmas. So here follows my first New Year's resolution: From 2008 I shall buy gifts whenever I see them throughout the year & store them for Christmas rather than trying desperately to find something worthwhile from the hordes of cheap Chinese imports & junk available during this time of year. Even that most predicatble of gifts, bath cosmetics, are wrapped in giftpacks with a "Made in China" label on it. It did make me think twice before buying it as "filler" presents.
Anyway, may the Spirit of Goodwill grow in all our hearts and find expression in our actions.
