Ho ho ho!
Merry day after Christmas! I hope Santa was good to everyone! He was good to me - I finally got that new flash I've been wanting.

What a great day. The snow that was forecast never came, but it was okay because it just felt Christmasy - especially when I got in a fight with my mother, sitting round the Christmas tree. Gotta love the joyful holiday fights with family!

Now onto New Year's. My resolution this year is to be happy, whatever that may mean. I think it's a good one, and if I leave it open-ended, I'll be much more likely to follow it.

Happy holidays!

It's officially beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially since I went to the fiance's company Christmas party last night. It was a good time, good food and free drinks all night, but is it required that company events taking place outside of work be very socially awkward? Anyway, compared to what my company does for the holidays - a $10 gift card and an obligation to donate money to a charity - it was a great spread. I am hungover and my brain feels like it's swollen, which is always a sign of a good time.

Speaking of Christmas, I can't wait until it's over. Bah humbug to this time of year, when it becomes necessary to wish goodwill on people you really don't care for, and buy them presents, to boot. I'm poor. My outgo far outweighs my income, and I am paying for it this month (pun intended). Maybe I'll ask for my very own accountant this year.
