How da fsck did it get to be Christmas eve?

Wow, December 24th. Hard to believe that tomorrow's Christmas. It hasn't felt like Christmas. I'm not sure exactly why this has happened, if everything's muted because of the events of last fall, or the weather, or the fact that finals ran right straight into Christmas this year. Or maybe a combination of all of them.

So, there's a few random thoughts rambling around my head. I'm gonna discuss them all here, but I'll cut this right here to save you from the long post.
