gowhonker fell of his bike and pkgem isn't feeling well. Naturally am most distraught as this means I won't have seen either of them for like three weeks or something since I'm away next week.
Oh - did I mention? Tomorrow I jet off to sunny Yorkshire for approx 1 week. This is technically my Christmas Holiday.
On a related note, I have sent no Christmas cards this year. This was largely a conscious decision, because I do not see their point. I saw on TV once that the giving of cards came about because one Victorian gentleman, one year, could not find the time to write his habiltual annual letterograms to each and every one of his distant friends and family, so sent them pretty pictures instead. There may or may not have been twee poetry inside, and this may or may not be apocryphal, but still the point stands - why throw money at the greeting card companies to send greeting cards to people I have said "Merry Christmas" to in person?
That said, I suppose I should have sent cards to those friends and family whom I shall not be seeing this year. Maybe I'm just cheap. Whatever the case, I shall say instead this: To each and every body on my friendslist, I do wish you a merry Christmas, and I would like to be able to say it to your face, along with hugs.
