Danger Alert: Christmas is Coming, Be Prepared

Like postcards, Christmas cards are something that we generally only send once a year.

Unless you are a member of the society “The Followers of the Sandal of Brian” who have uncovered the meaning of the cards (Amazing Discovery: Answers to the Secrets of Life Uncovered in Postcards) then most people’s choice of cards will usually involve a cute winter scene or a picture of the nativity.

That’s fine.

Some people will argue that one is preferable to the other and debate what Christmas is all about.

That is not the subject that we are looking at here.

You choose what suits your own feelings.

Perhaps what is more important is the personal touch of the message inside.

That person to person message is something that the receiver may treasure without you even realising.

Okay that’s the cards signed sealed and delivered.

For many it has been a bad year

For others it is a time to make the final touches before closing for the holiday and ensuring that all will be well for the forthcoming year

After all for some, an opportunity is an opportunity.

As the offices close to the sounds of merriment, it is worth remembering and carefully calculating how much alcohol you are going to have at those office parties and to take into consideration your own safety.

One thing that people tend to forget is, that they may well have had a fanciful eye on one of their colleagues; but they will have to work with them again after the holiday

While it is alright getting into the spirit of things, it is well worth taking into account how others will remember you, when the gossiping starts up again in January.
