The advertising is out in full force, the Christmas isles have appeared in supermarkets, the Coca-Cola lorry is touring the country, if anyone was unsure as to our next big holiday event, they've probably been living in a hole with no electricity or any means of keeping time.
For me, as usual, this is the time of year when I negotiate with work time I can spend with my family and friends. Last year was quite easy.. I was working in a call centre where I could chose my shifts and they closed over Christmas anyway. This year things are a little more awkward. We don't actually know when we're breaking up for the holidays. It all hinges on dates and flights for me. I want to see my family for Christmas and work the pub for New Year. That's if we stop performing early enough for me to get flights. Otherwise it may be the other way around. In a worst-case scenario I won't find out in time to get any flights and I'll be at a bit of a loss during the festive season.. it doesn't usually occur to me that planes can sell out.. I suppose I've been quite lucky so far. Let's hope it holds out until the end of the year..
