Personally I have not had that great a'festive season' the reason being that the company I worked for was liquidated by the 5 directors on the 21st December and my job was made redundant! So I was out of work AND owed two months wages (as well as redundancy payments and lack of notice payment) three days before Christmas! Nice christmas present from the directors. It is also quite possible that I will not get any payments for quite a few months yet! Didn'y make for a Merry festive season!
I had family and friends for Christmas Lunch as usual, it just meant that I couldn't be as generous as I would have liked when it came to presents etc.
However I have my health, my family and my good friends as well as my faithful cat [ who is at this precise moment sleeping on a cushion on the table and obviously dreaming about chasing something].
The new year dawns with me thinking that this is a good time to change my direction slightly - perhaps startup in business myself! I will be looking into this in the near future.
There is also the old paradox - when one is working one has the money doesn't seem to have the time for 'leisure pursuits', exercising, visiting friends or places further afield, BUT when one is 'unemployed' one has the time but not the finances! A catch 22 situation! Even jobhunting costs money!

Sounds really unfair to me Kindurs.
You`ve obviously worked really hard for that project, and have not only loved the work, but have been a great Ambassador of the project.
And they owe you wages?
To be told at that time of year too is a horrendous thing.
Well, it can only get better. It has been a blow for you, but I`m sure that things will get better.
You are a lovely lady, and, you have your health and friends.
See you soon, Kindurs.
Hey, Kindurs.....where are you...?!!
Missing you!
