St Nick & Co

Time: 11:30am

Rummaging in the cupboards, I found myself staring at the illustrations on the St Nicholas treats which Wingnut's mum had sent from The Netherlands. Why is it all men? St Nicholas, Black Peter(s), even the horse is male.

Which leads me to Santa and his elves. And the reindeer. All male. The only woman is Mrs Mary "Afterthought" Christmas.

(The Easter Bunny. Shut up brain, enough.)

Are you taking any kind of precautions so you can do this - notice this, note this, record this - and not completely lose the will to live?

It's stuff I notice anyway, so no extra brain cycles lost there. When I think about what I've noticed, I guess I'm writing it away from myself. I'm finding it a useful exercise already which helps. And, as I said, it'll be a short project. A month maybe.
