Christmas season is here and it’s notoriously difficult for me, as always. Since my early teenage years, I’ve come to dread the holiday season. Normally, I sign up for late shifts every year to feel at least a little bit useful. I usually am a person who adores the cold seasons, but I surely prefer autumn over winter since I drive. Winter also kinda lost its magic over here in Germany due to climate change - we used to have such beautiful snow covered forests, but nowadays it’s mostly just cold and rainy. Today’s yet another stormy December day with heavy wind gusts, it seems like these are more frequent in the last few years.

Pros are that I should have all the Christmas presents for my parents ready by Monday - since my 20s, I enjoy making thoughtful gifts much more than receiving any. Since I have the day off, I can spend my time to wrap everything up nicely after I finished one appointment: my new glasses are already done and I can pick them up after the weekend.
