It's a cliché, but still: it's the dark days before Christmas... We all know this sentence. But besides dark days, for many people it's also the busy days before Christmas. Some people want to finish a lot of things before the end of the year, so that they can start the new year with a clean slate. Others are busy making the house cozy, organizing a nice Christmas party or buying Christmas presents. There is hardly any time to stop and think about what really matters and to look back on the past year.
