Several years ago I bought a tree topper for our Christmas tree that had a star and a motorized bit that spun around with an airplane and banner on a wire. Two years ago when I packed it all I did a lousy job, and last year when I assembled the tree I found it to be broken. Being an expert idiot and not just a gifted amateur, I just packed it away again while broken, didn’t order a replacement, and just forgot about the problem until this year, when I found that the house elves had not miraculously repaired it for me. It was too late to order a replacement to get delivered before Christmas, but at least this year I ordered it to come in whenever it could get here so that I would have it for the future.
Today it arrived and got installed, so our Christmas tree is flying again, even if I might not be.
Maybe that will be one of the New Year’s Resolutions that actually gets kept for 2025. Maybe.
