I started Brothers Karamazov and then got distracted by the expanse series. I finished three of those books. I’m planning to read a couple of more of those next year. Do keep us posted on what you are reading. Your reading list is what I picked my big read books from last year and I’m glad I did.
Only ships I'm fan-girling are of the space kind! Serenity Rocinante Now that's a pair I could ship. Speaking of Christmas-sy drinks, gimme a Mudslide by the fire — Kahlua, Baileys and Vodka! What are Dubai Christmases like? Considering the number of Westerners out there do you see any public decorations/celebrations? You and DH have any end of year traditions?
I'm a purist when it comes to Vodka! Annnd, I'm imagining if you were to be my company... (On round2, Baby Yoda in mumble jumbled Mandalorian): "I drunc muc." Sooo lightheaded! Enjoy your cocktails. I have something on my wishlist... Cann__ "Social Tonics"! My mailbox is open for Secret Santa gifts*. Direct drone deliveries and bulk shipments accepted. *CBD gummy bears of 2018 never made it here! Hehe!
Hm, "cosmopolitan" and given we are also a spenders' paradise, yep, there are decorations, celebrations, and deals to attract sales obviously. Dubai tries! Most family resident foreigners usually go on long leave this time of the year until New Year week and enjoy holidays at home I suppose. This year neither Xmas or NY is coming around the weekends so just one day off for both. Boringgg! I hang stars and serial bulb lights in the balcony, count as traditions? We spend with family. Eat, Shop, Tour, Movies, Fireworks... Funnn! Either they visit or we go to their place. They have moved to a different country now and I'm having visa issues at both ends. Fingers crossed. Btw, is your tree ready? Does it breathe fire? I ship!
Happy holiday seen along with your studies. Wish you all the best in your impending exams. Happy New Year. Regards. God is in search of His virtual Friends’ participation & contributions.
