December, 16 2024 – Christmas List 2024

I am coming back again with another year of Christmas ideas. For reference, I try to not talk about items that I talked about in previous years for a better catalog of ideas.

If your intent is to finish then you end up justifying to yourself your decisions. Those end up being disappointing gifts.

End Your Programming Routine: In these times, I wish that I was the kind of guy that was into this holiday.

I don’t know, but I have to work with what I am.
