The good side of Christmas and New Year

For many reasons I dislike and rarely enjoy the Christmas and New Year period. So here are some of the good things that happened to me this year.

- I was able to spend some quiet time with my lovely wife when we weren't bothered by other things.
- I saw my parents, and they weren't irritating.
- I found at least a little time where I could sit down and properly relax, knowing that all the things that normally fill my head could go away because they didn't matter then and even if they did, there wasn't anything that I could do about them.
- I was given a pruning saw. My Mother really should know better. Mawahaha.
- I ate lots of very nice food in quantities that didn't spoil the experience.
- I was able to have fun playing some games with people without becoming too competitive or intense.
