December 2017 started like winter would come. And then the
snow melted a day after it has fallen many times in turn. In snowy days it was
lovely to walk in the forest and enjoying the fresh snow white nature.

December 2017 also was very important for my coming out as
Anukatariina. I told about me to my nearest colleagues and they responded with
joyful comments and warm hugs. I even visited my work place as Anukatariina a
couple of times. The first one was in my regular place and I met some of my
nearest (or should I say dearest after such an incidence…) and we hugged again.
The second visit was in another place. I noticed the colleagues there looked at
me somewhat confused and I’m not sure if they identified me – at least I didn’t
introduced myself to them.
At the work place for the first time
I use to bake some Christmas pies for Dreamwear Club
pikkujoulu and I this time I naturally had the same idea. Unfortunately the
office of Seta had been constructed and they had thrown the owen away. So instead
of baking I had to buy the pies. Anyway the pikkujoulu was very warm hearted
with lots of music and deep thoughts.

As always my oriental dance performance was also in
December. The choreography was Fuego with somewhat Spanish flamenco ingredients. Our
leader wanted to show something to watch and the result was very furious with
colors of flames. I had quite few
own rehearsal sessions so I wasn’t very sure of my readiness. The result was I
invented some new mistakes instead of the ones I was afraid of. Luckily I did
the worst mistake in time so many of the audience thought it was meant to be
so.
You can see the result here.

I still had one pikkujoulu left: Marinka wanted to have one
with her dance students because she is going to Spain at least for a year. So
we met still a day after the show to chat, eat and drink something and, of
course, dance. The music available was a collection of old choreography musics.
Each time the music was familiar some of us tried to remeber the choreography.
It turned out I’m not good in remembering the old ones. But it was fun anyway.
The schedule of the dance studio is not good for me so I had decided to take
another. So in the end of the evening we hugged each others for farewell. Anyway
some days later I decided to continue the same studio: The arrangement options
for another alternatives were not better and I was very happy to be able to go
on with my old dance friends.

My Christmas arrangements were a bit smaller i scale than
they use to be. There were a bit fewer visitors and we decided not to do
anything too much. Another thing was I had a wrong week day in my mind as the
Christmas Eve so I had a day less to fuss.

The Christmas dinner with relatives
The Christmas day I went for a walk in the forest again. The
snow had mostly melted and then frozen to very hard and slippery mat. I went to
one of my favorite places by a tiny beck where I found wonderful icy works of
art above the water.
