One of the great delights of Christmas is hearing new ways of using language from one's children.
For example, today I learned...
"We are out in the butt-fuck of nowhere"

Annual dose of Christianity.
This year's highlight was the Archangel Gabriel, dressed in black & yellow striped tights & crocs, taking calls from God on an oversized inflatable mobile phone. He was assisted by two other angels who led the singing at a pitch that no other human has ever accomplished

Accidentally hit ceiling light fitting with a hammer while doing other DIY job.
Light started flickering.
Step 1. Remove fitting and test it for continuity with a multimeter.
Step 2. Multimeter battery is flat. Go to shop and get new battery.

Am I terriblely old fashioned by reading the papers I cite?
Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵
Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

Say it in a sinister voice, for extra festive fun.

Christmas "card" from the vice chancellor landed in inboxes this morning, wishing us a relaxing and rewarding break.
Taking bets on the interval between this and an email from HR telling all academics that they are at risk of redundancy.

Please send thoughts and prayers. It is Mrs H's nursery class nativity play today.
Rehearsals yesterday included an argument between Mary and Joseph over Baby Jesus, and a wise man who decided to break dance on stage.

I agree.
For me, at first, Academia was very much an identity and a calling.
Years later, after some experience of terrible university management, it is "a job".
Some other reflections (which turned out to be about workload management, and ways of working)
