21 December 2006
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... not a phone was trilling, not an email was pinging, not a text message was beeping... nothing.There is a moment each year, just before Christmas, that I love. It's the moment that peace descends on Semantic. All Christmas commitments are honored, all ongoing projects are safely tucked up for the holiday, all clients are happy.
It's a simple pleasure, but aren't they always the best?
There's plenty of things to love about Christmas; the lights, the taste of mulled wine, the scent of the tree, the sound of the kids coming down the stairs like a herd of elephants... but for me the moment peace descends on Semantic is right up there... and we are approaching it as I write.
Thanks to all of you who've made 2006 such so good for us. I think we've laughed more this year than any other, which is saying something. (I'd also like to add a big personal thank you to Mike and Chris... without whom (as they say) none of this would be possible.
There may not be peace on earth this Christmas, but there is peace at Semantic, and we heartily wish it for all of you. Merry Christmas.
Nick, Mike and Chris
