Christmas

After the party — 2018/12/16
Friday evening was the company's Christmas party. As every year, the celebration was generous. Cocktail dinner and plenty of alcohol. Laughter is not just easy like that, the happiness of working together really exists, I think, within Spiria.

Christmas discomfort — 2012/12/22
For the past week, my e-mail box has been full of good wishes. As the work before the holiday season ends and the last rehearsals have taken place, we inevitably leave each other wishing to everyone a happy holiday.

The Christmas Mass — 2011/12/25
It must have been ten years since I attended a Christmas mass. They have obviously not changed much. The Prayers in the Church is always of the same mold.

Happiness monsters — 2011/12/13

Christmas in a short time — 2011/11/23
Seven centimeters of snow is expected today. The faces disappeared under the hoods. We are watching where we are stepping, because many have not yet planned, as with tires, winter boots.
