December Words December ends yet another tired and worn out year.  And, this is why December would like to believe it's still part of November. December is still dark.  But, gradually even this darkeness is leaving and going elsewhere.  The longest night has already left and the light has started to turn.  But, December has to be forced to be happy.  We help it each year.  Advent and Christmas.  And we even bring our own colourful lights and much more as well.  But, never the less, no one really likes December. No one can wait for its end. There are, after all,  happier times round the corner.  And, much better than now.  NAJ 2023 December 2023 - Programme - - - - - - -  - Pocket Thinking 20 minutes maximum concentration just isn't true!  Listen to these words.
