Yes happy season's greetings to all.
We were reflecting on the dark grimness at work and saying how we were all tired and done with everything. And how that long before Christmas was a thing, it would have been necessary to have something bright and fun to look forward to in the middle of winter. You know, sitting around the fire near the roundhouse and eating something tasty. I was just feeling cosy and pleased when my colleague pointed out that other aspects of this would probably be exactly the same. E.g. there you are presenting little Johnny with a little wooden deer that you've carefully be whittling, and he cries and says he wanted a boar instead. The realisation made me laugh anyway.
Wishing you all hope and peace for the new year x
