I’m spending christmas with my family up in Savonlinna. As people get older in our family, we have begun to take the holiday season a little less stressfully than in the years before. This has resulted in more free time with the family as well as more time for just reading and relaxing.

I spotted an excellent set of reading for christmas from thinking with my fingers, a blog by Torill Mortensen. The new edition of game studies is out :) I also brought along from Helsinki, Freakonomics and Blink – I’ve only heard good things of them.

Little did I know when I began following her blog about 2 years ago that I would end up in a gaming company, working on a daily basis with games. Sometimes things just go as you want them to!

Happy holidays to everyone, do take time to relax and stop for a while to think of the world around you – I’m sure they will pay off one way or another.
