Well, I started off December feeling quite Christmassy, but the feeling's definitely worn off. We're just scraping by, like bottom of the barrel. Like, remember that scene from Galaxy Quest when they first pull the ship out of dock? And he's scraping along the spaceport? Yeah, that's my life right now. I'm not asking for nothing, so don't give me anything. All I want is that Christmas feeling back. Instead this just feels like another month. We don't even have our tree up yet.

Dad keeps saying we'll celebrate in January, but I don't know. We'll try, but man... I never thought in the whole time I was growing up I'd be so indifferent towards Christmas. It used to be my favorite holiday...
