Norway, Al Capone, Mick Jagger

12/13/2018

The Norwegians call the week between Christmas and New Year, Romjul. This is a time to get cosy and hibernate with your family.

We're not quite there yet, but as beach photos start appearing from our southern friends, let's begin prepping for some winter holiday conviviality over here in the north.

To enjoy the full benefits, deactivate distracting devices and replace them with a jigsaw puzzle, Scrabble or a board game. And since ‘tis the season to be jolly we couldn’t resist sharing some fun accounting trivia:   
 
The notorious gangster Al Capone wasn’t caught in a guns blazing crossfire, rather he was nailed by a team of… accountants!

Here’s one for our wordsmiths: the only English word with triple, double letters is “bookkeeping”.

Or chew on this: the man who invented bubble-gum was an accountant by profession.

Best of all, Mick Jagger studied accounting yet dropped out to be a rock star. Puts a new spin on the lyrics, “You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you find you get what you need.”
 
We hope 2018 gave you what you wanted. And for you Sir Mick, it’s never too late to reinvent yourself at Color Accounting. It's all much easier now. 

So.. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and enjoy Romjul before you rock 2019.

Peter.
