Like every year, I really wanted to make a nice little drawing Christmas to be sent by e-mail to all contacts in my address book. For the blog of course I would have made another ad hoc, that fool would have done otherwise in respect of the recipients of this email are both of my readers?! It's a matter of professionalism, rather than recycle, I prefer to work twice! Yes, yes!
As always, I love to think big ... but like all I had to send greeting cards and I never even wrote, in the end I did nothing.
What do you want us, are slaves of greetings via SMS. :-P
I know. By now you've had enough of talk about the holiday season, all blogs that respect they have already spoken widely and mostly to time, but each has its time, no? Not to mention the fact that Christmas I do not yet arrived: there were at least 30 degrees too so I could fully immerse myself in the atmosphere! And eating a pandoro trunks in the middle of summer is really weird, believe me.
In Australia December 26 Boxing Day is celebrated on a typically Anglo-Saxon festival which takes its name from the "Christmas Box" clay containers that held the artisans in their shops and essentially served as "piggy banks". During the year there were donations made on the day after Christmas and the boxes were broken and the contents divided between those who worked in the shop. It seems that this holiday has its origins in the Middle Ages, when feudal lords used to distribute gifts to their servants or the less fortunate on the day of 26 (read: how to get rid of what remains of the Christmas feast).
If I were to give a modern definition, the Boxing Day is the day where you have to (literally) to box to enter any store, since it is the day they begin the sales. I had the unfortunate idea to go to the City for a ride and again I was stuck in traffic jams that formed at the entrance of the human shops. Never again.
Another little thing, this is not celebrating the epiphany. Since I'm in full summer vacation, and 6 was a Sunday I would not be touched ... but I will find it very annoying when I find a job!
Well, I finally concluded that I had to say about Christmas and if you're wondering whether the title of this post has any bearing on its actual content, the answer is no. It's just a tribute to two of my closest friends and former colleagues, that I saw when I came back to Italy between November and December. The night we went out I said that I would use our "nicknames working" as the title of my next post and so I did. Found to be unflattering epithets? Blame the working environment! ;-)
late Happy New Year! J
