I'm usually of the persuasion that Christmas is the most wonderful season of the year, but this year something seems different. I hadn't been able to figure it out until a couple of days ago when I came to the conclusion that Christmas spirit isn't about the decorations and any of that jazz, but spending time with your family and close friends. That in and of itself is what makes the Christmas season special for me, and I haven't been able to feel it as much this year, given the fact that I am over 1000 miles away from anybody I have known for more than 6 months. I usually hate those who adopt a "Bah Humbug" attitude, but I'm feeling more and more like that every day here (although I did change my template to sorta aleviate the problem... thanks 'Gaz.)
