And so here we are. Who would have thought that the last year would fly by as fast as it did? Or that Obama would win the peace price? I mean, there are others in the world who have worked as much for peace. Yes, I might be referring to a certain religion, who through their work to promote a certain holy vegetable, has contributed to the work for global peace. But we’ll let that be for now. There’s always next year.
But what I want to talk about today, is christmas. Yes once a year a bearded man climbs down your chimney and leaves you a pair of woolen socks. A pair of woolen socks that you while try to keep the tears away, state that you: “always wanted”, while you watch your spoiled cousin unwrap his new 40″ 1080p Hd-Tv. Yes, christmas is truly the time to polish your acting skills, as you thank your grandmother for the itchy mittens and the gift you realise was what you gave her last year: a dvd she proudly pronounces that you can listen to on your record player.
We wish we could give you what you always wanted: that you would find that bike, cellphone, or dress you really wanted, under your tree this year, with christmas greetings from the cucumber santa. Or that we could be there with you to enjoy the taste of a good ol’ christmas dinner, and sing your favourite christmas carols with you. And even though we can’t, try to think of us while you dig in on your christmas turkey. And feel free to eat as much cucumber as you want during christmas. We wish you a merry christmas, and hope to see you on the forums. Join the family, and celebrate christmas with us. We still have a week until christmas eve. What are you waiting for? Join the family!
