I hope you all had a wonderful winter holiday with friends and families. Sadly some nasty colds caught us all and our holiday wasn´t as eventful and active as we had planned. But we instead had a goood rest and a warm family time sitting in front of the fire or watching a few movies together, so that wasn´t bad after all.

Miscellaneous
An inspiring article for these first days of a new year to set goals, decide how to approach your goals and work on it. I've started to make my 100 things to do list too. Hope it helps me reach my goals, as right now they are very messy and I need some structure to tackle it.

I remember how sad I felt when I heard of the passing of Alan Rickman. Seems like he was indeed a good person. RIP
And speaking of Harry Potter, here's a fun little article:
I know Christmas is over but here are two fun articles about some unique (and maybe a bit strange) " Christmas traditions" in Japan:
