As this newsletter goes out, I'm on my way to my hometown to spend the Christmas holidays with my parents.
It's going to be strange this year. My parents have moved out of the family home. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now it feels a little bit sad - no longer getting to visit the house where I grew up... Well, I can probably still visit because it turns out that I know the woman who bought the old house - I went to school with her - but still. It’s going to be weird.
Christmas is kinda stressful as an adult. I’m not really looking forward to it. Sure, I get to see my family, but I’m an introvert even when it comes to being around my family. It’s a whole lot of “people” time with no escape.
I probably won't write while I'm away, but I'll let ideas percolate.
The good part about this time of year is that it's when I manage to get a lot of reading done. My holiday reading list:
Think Again by Jacqueline Wilson
How Not to be a Supermodel by Ruth Crilley
A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
Wishing you a happy holiday season.
