'Tis the season to be jolly, that's how the saying goes isn't? I think I can honestly say I've never felt this un-christmassy in my life, not even watching the greatest Christmas film of all time, A Muppets Christmas Carol has helped me get into the spirit of things. I know the main reason is that this year is going to be vastly different to what I've done in the last few years, I don't have that excitement of finding presents for alot of people and to top it all off I'm working New Years Eve, as anyone in the hospitality industry knows is one of the most stress filled nights to work.
There's also the fact that I've told my current employees that after Christmas I'll be ramping up my efforts to find a new place in the world to call home, there's a feeling in the back of my head that my time in Boston is coming to an end and in all honesty I can't wait to get the hell out of here! I'm going to miss some people but it's definitely the right decision for me to leave this place. I've had one or two incidents with people that in the past I would have reacted to, but being the wiser more mature version of myself that I am these days I walked away without saying what I'm really thinking. It wouldn't have done me any good and I just want to put my head down, get through these next few months and then work out how to get out of here.
It's not all doom and gloom though, early arrangements have been made to reunite the Hibbert Street posse early next year for the first time in nearly 20 years. Yes Kevin, Dave, Scott and myself will be in the same room at the same time and if the whatsapp messages are anything to go by then it should be a fun day.
Until next time...who knows I may discover my christmas cheer before the big day!
