I hope everyone has had a merry Christmas, with lots of love, gifts and sweets!

Of those, mine had mostly sweets... - at least that part hasn't changed considerably over the years, which, in a way, is a good sign on its own.

The gifts... those don't come around that much anymore, as the age-of-the-gifts is long gone....

And love... well... Christmas isn't what it used to be, is it?
The vacant moments, the complete antithesis of what this season should mean, seem, as time passes, ever more present, and I also found quite a good share of them this year.

But all in all, it wasn't that bad.

And now, after this little seasonal service announcement, I'll head on to where I've left off... decisions, decisions!

I believe this post should be seen as a retroactive piece of writing.

Huh? Wha?! What?

Now, now, please relax! Here, take a deep breath and in return give me some benefit of the doubt. Fair trade, eh? Thanks!
There is (in my head, at least) a perfectly sane reason to put it that way!

You see, if my previous post was the beginning of the story, Chapter One, so to say, then this might as well be its preface... it just lost the train and is arriving a tad late.

Starting a story is never an easy thing to do.

Granted, you can always take the quick way out on that one: just pick the traditional (tried and tested!) path of the fairy-tale stories, and go head-in with the "Once upon a time" approach... never looking back!

But you see, that, is where the problem kicks in for me. Why? Because I do look back.
