When I was a kid, it seemed like Christmas would never come. I can literally remember sitting around and thinking about the characteristics of time during December.
Maybe, that's what kids did in my generation. At least one of them.
Now, Christmas just rolls up smoothly. Like an incoming train. For a long time, I can see its light in the distance. There's no stopping it as it gets closer.
Today is "preparation day".
In many regards.
