Neglect

I've neglected this blog shamefully for the past month. Admittedly, I have had a great deal of work to be done. And I've missed writing, even if the immortal echo of the pagan gods' words has been difficult to hear of late.

Christmanukkawanza is approaching - the stores blossom with red, green, gold, black, blue and silver. I dream old dreams, the memories of snow and sleighbells, and the sweet taste of freshly-roasted chestnuts on a chilly winter's evening. I enjoy this season, especially giving gifts to my friends. I must go out and buy candies to put in gold-starred bags tied up with blue ribbon to give to all my friends. I have special presents for two. I need a special present for one more...and then presents for the rest of my family. 'Tis an expensive season, as well as a jolly one.

Don't expect to hear from me til my exams are over. Viel erfolg to all other students enduring finals!
