Seems like the world is getting ready to go off on holiday right now. Except for the few poor fools who work in IT jobs for advertising agencies, who are desperately trying to get work done for the new year (like me), most other people are already in holiday mode. I’m always interested to hear what people are doing as it gives an insight into the human condition.

Plans either fall into one of a few broad categories. In your 20′s your likely to have 24/7 drugs and partying planned, up to and including Xmas eve, and recovery Xmas morning, just in time for the family do in the afternoon. Most 30 somethings are a spectrum of this falling strongly into this group at the young end, fading out into more family based stuff at the other. The 40 somethings are definitely in the family category as most have kids, while the 50 somethings are too old to give a shit about travelling and are waiting for people to arrive.

Me, I’m firmly trying to hang in there on the 20 something plan, but age is telling me I should grow up. Maybe so, but I’ve always been stubborn.

    Christmas has always been the one time of the year when I definitely will see my family. At times I didn’t like that much (in my 20s), but I did anyway.

    I think as you get older, those things become more important. I remember as a kid I used to hate being locked up with the family. Since leaving home, Christmas with the family have become treasured moments.

      Hey Ben,

      Oh I think I’m not in any danger of that happening soon. I seem to be missing the mature gene. :)
