Strive Notes

I am really starting to get in the mood for Christmas with the first frost, darker mornings and drives home and a distinctively Christmas theme to last week’s projects.

A lot of my week involved researching and writing about online Christmas shopping, a subject I really enjoyed looking into… Well I have had more than a little practice at it, after all. Most of my Christmas gifts are already safely tucked away throughout the house. I am fairly organised when it comes to buying gifts.

I am not so organised when it comes to Christmas cards, another subject I have been writing about this week. I admit that, year after year, I buy and write cards yet never quite get round to posting them. It’s a shame because I enjoy receiving and display cards from friends, family and colleagues — a sentiment I am sure they share. And it’s important…as my Christmas card project last week revealed, there just isn’t the same feeling behind electronic Christmas greetings.

In all, it has been quite a word-heavy week for me. Writing is a skill that takes time to master. But, I think I am getting there.
