The Christmas season essentially ends, in my family, with a smash party and an oversized roast bird. We are talking a 18kg turkey that remains motionless in the oven for roughly 10 hours. This year, 33 people were planed, something like 30 showed up and we had food and drinks all the way into the night. Always works. The following days are colored, food-wise, by clubhouse sandwiches, and the usual routine ends (and the year, for that matter) on the 31st with a good dinner, in friendly environment, and massive fireworking. In summary, this year was not really different from the last but was marked with a handful of new things: new pages, new languages, a degree, spatial loss of friends, new knifes, new cuts, deaths, births, new (old) friends, new responsibilities, new books, new music, new shows, new projects, new offices,… All in all positive enough. So how about this: lets all attempt to make more of the good stuff happen in the next year. No particular new year resolutions, please- just a general attempt. Points for effort granted. I would suggest that we get into the mood for the good stuff to come with some glam shmoove, some figurative speech, some good onomatopedtic rock-along. The new one is here, and you are part of it. Kaboom.
