Time will tell trends for 2018

It's always a bit sad for me when Jan. 2 arrives. That means, unless Jan. 2 falls on a weekend, that the holidays are over. That first day back at work or schoolsignals the long wait until Memorial Day for the next holiday, unless one works for the government or their company honors MLK Day, President's Day or Good Friday as a holiday. But while we return to a more "normal" routine, it's time to celebrate the arrival of 2018. In my world, that means celebrating the return of "The X Files" and the anticipation of the Winter Olympics. We still have more than a year to go for the return of "Game of Thrones" unless one counts the anticipated changes coming to President Trump's White House staff. 2017 brought many surprises - from #TakeAKnee to #MeToo - via social media. Twitter, or at least some tweets, even doubled in size. What might double in size in 2018? Only time will tell.
