I always think at Christmastime about something one of my bosses said at the Christmas works do. Strangely enough this is someone who I disliked totally and hated working for, but he said that, the good thing about Christmas is it makes you put the effort into getting in touch with people that you've been meaning to contact all year but haven't got round to doing so. And he was right. Rings true even more for people like me who procrastinate terribly. I haven't got my tree out yet; I may not do so as no one is coming here and, like Baggs, if I do it may hang around for quite a long time. Some decorations never actually make it back into their box. The penguins have been in the living room for years and I think Santa and Reindeer will probably stay with them indefinitely.
