The dust has settled on Christmas and it's already New Year's Eve. I am coming to you via our new Dell Inspiron laptop that my wife bought us (i.e. the two adults in this family) for Christmas. I have vowed that the children will not get their grubby little hands on this computer as they did our previous laptop, which is only buying time until it's inevitable trip to software heaven.
It was a good Christmas. I have stopped comparing Christmases to previous ones and worrying about whether the current holiday celebration outstrips previous ones. The older I get, the less important that becomes, I'm just happy to still be standing upright and be able to be with my family. As it is, the holiday celebrations are constantly evolving over time as generations get older and/or pass on, while new generations make their appearance on the scene. And for me, Christmas really is mainly about the children and how excited they become in anticipation of the big day.
Now, we've reached the final day of 2011. Where did the year go? The older I get, the more time seems to fly by at supersonic speed.
Overall, it was a decent year for me personally. I have a decent job in a comfortable and friendly environment, my health is good (knock on wood), I have a new laptop that I can use to bore all of you with the minutiae of my life, and most importantly I have a loving and supportive family who put up with my foibles and faults.
Let me just conclude this brief post by wishing all two or three of my readers a wonderful and prosperous 2012.
