I just realized that Christmas is on Saturday of this week. Coulda fooled me. Sadly, it doesn't seem like I really care at all. Could going to Japan and missing a year, combined with me getting older, really make much of a difference? Christmas decorations just look tacky to me. I haven't been able to stomach much Christmas music on the radio. Then again, most radio Christmas music is sung by Mariah Carey, Peobo Bryson, or some dreaded combination of the two. So I guess that explains that part. Still, i enjoyed Christmas so much when I was a kid. I'd like to still enjoy it now, but maybe the Grinch is catching up with me.
