Christmas… shoes and Spirit

Whenever I used to call someone on the phone
I would ask them; “Is this a good time to call ?”
or “Did I catch you at a good time ?”

Now – I’m not exactly on the phone with you, but still…
Did I catch you at a good time ?… —-> Continue…

So here we are:

A NEW YEAR.

Now I know
