Just thought that I would update this blog since I haven't done so in a little while. It is natural to assume, therefore, that I am procrastinating.

I'm getting ready for Christmas which will be an unusual one this year. My sister and her family are going to be in England for a wedding, and my Dad is going on vacation to Vancouver. It would have been a good opportunity for my girlfriend's parents to meet my Dad, but neither she nor I could get the time off at Christmas as we are both very low on the seniority level. We won't get holidays at Christmas until we're in our 40s.

That means that I will be spending the few days off that I do have at home. M. and I are going to spend Christmas morning together and cook a nice dinner. We might go to the movies. I've never gone to the movies on Christmas Day before, but I've always thought that it must be a lot of fun. I expect that the number of people sneaking booze in must be higher on Christmas Day. Anyway, we're sticking fairly close to home and we're going to enjoy our 4 days off. With luck, the annual piss-up afternoon of World Junior Hockey will happen, too.
