Christmas 2012

Well, here we are again.  A new Christmas and touch-wood, the year 2012 doesn’t appear to have contained within it the predicted disasters that various apocalyptic sources heralded.  The world has not (yet) ended, the 2012 Olympics were, despite everything, a triumph, and the American President does not in fact subscribe to the belief that poverty is the moral sin of those who suffer from it.

That said, I am writing this blog entry with a few days to go before Christmas, owing to the fact that my Christmas day is going to be spent with my Mum and my mates, by a fire, with a cat in my lap, doing not much at all really.  And, assuming that the world hasn’t ended in the intervening time, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, full of fun, festivities and a nice seat by a warming fire.
