december's children (and everybody's)

hi there


most profound apologies, look you see, for anyone who has hit upon this via one of them internet searches and (not unreasonably) expected to find something about a rather renowned and celebrated album off of The Rolling Stones. this is all, to be sure, just another glimpse at what certain calendars of mine are showing for the month.

and the final, or if you like last, month of the year that is, was, 2018. one would suppose that my thoughts should now gravitate towards which calendar(s) i will get for next year. undoubtedly it, or they, shall be the cheapest what i can find, but for now let us cast a gaze upon what is in the here and now.



from the kitchen, then, we have the December offering off of the Winnie The Pooh calendar. as you can see, quite clearly in the beauty of Commodore 64 mode, it features all them characters (or most of them) off of that "expanded universe" in quite traditional Christmas fare.

once again, then, it is very northern hemisphere centric, presenting Christmas as a time of cold, snow and what have you. this has always struck me as being rather unfair on our friends who reside south of the equator; they who bask in warm summer sun over the festive times. but, market forces at work, i suppose, and demand dictates that all Christmas marketing is aimed squarely at the Northern America and Western European market.




finally, then, up there above is a look - glance, perhaps - at my Minecraft calendar for the month of December for the year of 2018. as many of you will be aware, one of my most passionate things is to maintain the tradition of having a Minecraft calendar in the house, at least for every year that is 2018 and when i can find one for sale for about 12p.

well, there we go, there you have it. hopefully the above has helped all of you who for some reason elect to use my updates for all your calendar requirements, rather that investing in one for yourself. calendars are somewhat symptomatic of a false economy, i suppose, lasting as they do for (at best) just a year.

my plan would be for more calendar related shenanigans across 2019, but i make no promises. for all i know, i shall at some stage get bored or tired of such updates. but we shall see.



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
