Desmond and the Pardon-My-Unchristmassy-Blog.

Dear World,

I sincerely apologise for the lack of festive cheer thislast year. Well, at least that's how it must have seemed, because for the first time in a few years, Repeatedly's December saw no worrying amount of Christmas blogging with Irishy Photos and snow and ice and whatnot.

Please do not worry, World. I'm mostly just speechless to be have been here in Ireland for Christmas. Years ago, I wrote that I wanted to do so. I never, never expected it to have come true. Me of Little Faith then, I suppose? In December 08', at the height of my massive Ireland-Christmas blogging, I posted a certain picture. And a few weeks ago, I was in the car in town, and looked up and realised I was looking straight at the same picture from my blog.

World, I've met the 'Eric' who was wished a Merry Christmas. It turns out it was Limerick. So, even though it's nearly 3 weeks late, I want to wish all Erics and Gapores a Merry Christmas, and a happy new year.

Dreams do come true. (Sometimes. What? Would you rather I'd lie to you and say they always do? Didn't think so. Have a good year, World.)
