Really, it is … the PLBR team have been braced to deck the halls and jingle their bells for a while now, and now it seems the festive season is well and truly upon us again. The Christmas party has been and gone (and, once again, without a single fatality – a record your humble narrator remains proud of, despite a few close shaves over the years). Those of us who originate from more exotic locales than Essex and Surrey have began stumbling into the office laden down with suitcases prepared for their trips back to infinitely sunnier climes. Public transport in and around London has gone into meltdown as somebody heard it may by snowing somewhere in mainland Europe. Is it just me who wouldn’t have it any other way?
This time of year is the final stretch, the home straight, the big push over the top before the luxury of a lengthy December break. It’s a time sit back and bask in the successes of another business year, while keeping both eyes on lesson learned that can be implemented during the next twelve months. It’s a time to ponder aloud how the time goes by so fast and the festive season has crept up on us, while smiling inwardly at how we remembered to get those train tickets booked months ago. It’s a time for every man who would ordinarily burn a Pop Tart when attempting to cook suddenly turns into a domestic king, and a bona fide expert on poultry manufacture and seasoning. Most of all, it’s a time when the challenges, successes and adventures of work take a back seat for a short period to be superseded by concerns about the Boxing Day football results, just how Mr. Blobby got to be Christmas Number One and who gave Great-Aunt Ermintrude one sweet sherry too many that has somehow led to her getting up on the roof.
Good luck to all our colleagues, clients, friends and followers for their own big push for the final week of the business year, and please allow the PLBR team to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We’re already looking forward to another challenging and prosperous working relationship starting up in January – but until then, take it easy.
