The last week of the year is upon us.

This year like most years has passed us by so fast that it felt like only a few months. And now it's Christmas and all red-and-green and festive. Everyone is putting on scarves and pretending it's cold and drinking chocolate milk with cookies shapes like Christmas trees. 

I always spend the last few days of the year generally making mental lists of the good and bad things of the year that went by. It's satisfying because no matter how long the list of the bad things is, you are now past them and the new year with its endless possibilities is afoot.

The weather is a little better than what is usually is and the people on the street look happier than usual too. It's a nice time to, you know, just be.
