Merry Christmas

I fear that may have reached the age at which all festive activities become obligatory circus acts predictable from beginning to the end. From this not necessarily follows that the occasion is an unpleasant one, merely that I could think of activities as pleasant with the added bonus of being cost-and frustrationless.

Have I become to critical of family traditions? Or am I just grumpy for the lack of snow? Or am I longing for a childhood when christmas was something magical? I'll deny any charges whenever they are launched at me and take this opportunity to wish everyone a pleasant Yule-Tide.

Saint-Nicolas

Off late it seems that evert religious holidya anywhere in the world has to be turned into an opportunity to lavish children in sweets and gifts. I find this disgusting and remember from my childhood the one magial evening, the one holiday for children only, the anticipation, the putting out shoes, the waking up early, ...

I sincerely feel that I appreciated it more than children nowadays do, and certainly that I wouldn't not-mind waking up early if there was a pile of presents waiting for me every other month.

But this was actually not the whole point of my narrative. I just wanted to say thank you to the kind soul who left candy on my desk at work, thus I presume showing his/her appreciation of the work I do.

The Brownie Test

The perfect excuse to actually make some. Gather in my living room sweet teeth!

You Are a Caramel Brownie

You are a very sweet person. Even when you get yourself in to binds, people know that your heart is in the right place. You're the type of guy or gal that people never forget. There is something "sticky" about you - you stick in people's brain's. You are act naturally. You let the world see who you are, flaws and all. You're a little chaotic and even messy, but you're okay with that. You can be a bit hyper and unfocused at times. You don't stay organized - but that's part of your charm!

What Kind of Brownie Are You?

Protect!

I had my doubts about the title of this post, the picture I've selected is hardly politically correct, and I'm not sure that I of all people should be the one having to promote safe sex but it is my firmest belief that one can't be reminded too often.
