If you notice changes in your account, that's because you have a (not so) secret santa.

It's been a rough year, but it could've been worse. I'm thankful that I still have a job, and I do love my job. It helps especially during overtime hours. The company is staggered hard by bad economy but orders still come. I guess UH-60 BlackHawk is still the king of mid-sized cargo helicopter and in great demands all around the world.

I grew up in a Christmas-loving Dutch culture. Hollanders (I could've said Netherlanders, but Hollanders sound way cooler!) celebrate Sinterklaas (Dutch version of Santa Claus) on December 5. Here in US Santa comes officially at Christmas Eve, but unofficially he's been around as early as Thanksgiving. So I guess what the hell. December 1 is as good as Christmas itself.

So Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas, and enjoy it while it lasts.
