Christmas @ Home

Dear Fighter,

I have broken with two long traditions. Firstly, the minor one and the one that has actually not reached a true tradition status yet: I have arrived at home earlier than the 24th. And it was actually not that bad. I survived my family and I was actually able to see some friends, even old ones from high-school.

the second one is more serious. I have never taken a girl home for christmas. i was weird. she is a true star; what can i say. she goes along with everything, my friends, the unspleasent feeling of not being fluent in German, working on christmas day and boxing day. amazing. the downside is that it is now officially serious..... don't know how i feel about this? it is serious but i am not willing to get tied down, yet.

what more to say, we had a second christmas at her parents. i actually stayed the night. it was strange at first, but the matress was good. just kidding, it was a very nice evening with me trying to watch what I say the whole time...

XMAS CARDS - the true motivation

Dear Fighter,

today at work, a collegue pointed out the true meaning of xmas cards that one receives from its suppliers. I do have to admit there is some truth in it. Just try it yourself, as someone who knows nothing about the person/company that send the card to interpret the message/meaning of the card.

It will work, try it.

Keep Fightin,

Jochen

Yes, yes, it was a sad post.....
