If there was an occasion to meet, it must be christmas, simply because it's a time everyone, doesn't matter how old you are or which religion your beliefs lie - gather to exchange gifts/tokens or just to hang out. Commercialism has helped to promote this gathering in a huge way. For an almost anti-social creature - this season brings out the best and the worst in me. I detest crowds, hate being rushed, but at the end of it all, will still allow everyone to experience the 'social' side of me, which everyone does have in our persona file.
BUT 2 straight days of socialising has taken it's toll on me - I need respite care.
As always, my wish would be to seriously be away during christmas season next time around - it's not really difficult - just plan a trip out on the 23rd and stay away till the 26th! I have never gone away over christmas, ever - it was always because of last minute work that needs to get done - the timing is never right - and there's too much to do, before the year ends.
Perhaps, I should have that scheduled for 2008 - there are lots of people who travel over the holidays - because the roads are half loaded with vehicles - no traffic congestion in the mornings coming into the business district - making the journey into the city pleasant.
Let's see if at the same time, next year, I'll have a better story to share. My brains are too fried to even make cow sense.....
