What I love most about December 25th, apart from the free gifts as a result of the amusing bastardised confluence of Judeo-Christian mythology and capitalism, is that it signifies exactly one week until the first day of the new year. I realise that calendars are arbitrary quantitative methods for recording the passage of time, but New Year’s Eve and Day both fond memories for me nonetheless (moreso Eve because I normally spend most of Day semi-comatose), and everything does seem somehow refreshed and revitalised when the sun creeps back up over the Pacific Ocean for the first time of the year. Anyway it’s late, and I have to get some shut-eye, because I don’t plan on getting much tomorrow night. Enjoy yourselves. I certainly will be. =D
