The lights in Gotham were rather gorgeous this year. Not that I have many people to visit back there, but it was nice to see Mom and Dad again. but it was nice to talk to Lucius face-to-face for having been away for a while. And of course, the Christmas party, bash -- well, whatever you'd like to call it, went rather well I think. Alfred was pleased to be back home, as it were and it was nice to see him in the holiday spirit as well.
I can't say it was nice to see the paparazzi, though. Annoying and day-interrupting as ever. Dahlia seemed to have made a rather nice impression on them, as well. I wonder, she never did say how she felt about that, really. Hmn. Well, things could have gone, all in all, much worse than they played out. Of course, a large number of my previous, ah well, suitors, were rather irate about my neglecting them this time around. Admittedly, it felt awkward but at the same time rather nice in a new and exciting kind of way. In that same sense, though, when Chantal DuBoise asked me to dinner I think I possibly should have said no. Then again, little Flower wouldn't be jealous of a fop like her, now would she? For once, the bash wasn't simply of my own hand. Chantal DuBoise of DuBoise Jewels Inc. had a rather generous contribution to the deal, it was nice to have a small dinner with her to talk things through, among other things, about the whole ordeal. Perhaps something like this can be done again in another upcoming year. Perhaps.
Well then, nice to be back to work at least. Children seem to be still in the state of mind that rest is the first and/or highest priority, but that'll soon be tossed from their minds. All in all, good year. I do hope that Alfred won't miss Gotham too much -- or Ace, either. For his first flight trip, I feel he did rather well.
[strikes illegible, also, 'Chantal DuBoise' and her company are completely fake. Nothing to do with Batman or anything, s-so don't think it is. :x]
