December 2015 Newsletter
It’s now officially December 1st! I hope everyone enjoyed opening their advent calendars today. Always a fun tradition.
I bought the new Kindle during Black Friday sales. Of course then I gave it to my wife to give it to me for Christmas as we always struggle for gifts. And now I can’t wait till Christmas!! Arrgh.
Although I’m actually travelling for the holidays – always excited about that. An 8 hour flight? Perfect time to relax, ignore the world and read. I always bring my tablet, Nintendo DS, phone, laptop and Kindle with me – everything loaded up with multimedia and I spend the whole time reading.
