ALieEveryoneIsInOnExceptMe

The time of year where snow falls and people take out the parkas from the dusty box at the back of the closet. A time of year that I have never experienced. The falling of snow, the cold nights, the warm fireplace, and the ever present duty that every young man must perform for the sake of the family: shoveling the snow. All these glorious moments have never been more than a trickling fantasy. A dear longing; [my] hopeless, extended hand reaches after this glimmer of cloth, praying for the day I will be able to partake in at least one of these lofty moments of joy and comfort. Alas, it is all for naught! For the hand slowly shrivels into a lifeless heap of flesh and then, in turn, morphs into a serpent that commences to consume my mind and soul......

Wow, that got morbid pretty fast....

Ahem!

Christmas! Snow! Gifts! And! (If you are like me) EEEEYYSSSZZZZUUUUSSSS!!!

I might not scream His name out like a (dirty) Mexi-

Hey, you know me by now. Racism is obviously not an issue with me. In fact, most days I actually don't mind Spaniards..... Ah! Who am I kidding? Ahahahaha.

Alright, please don't leave. That joke was in bad taste.

Christmas is here! A time to rest, spend time with family, and exchange gifts filled with tears and love. Man, that was beautiful..... But we must first remember what Christmas is REALLY about. It was originally a pagan celebration tha-..... Hmmm.... That didn't go in the direction I wanted this post to go....

Let's start over.

I still have yet to commence with the shopping of the gifts for my beloveds. Which isn't really a big deal. I mean, last year I received 0 presents. Yup, as my family partook in the happiness that they received from others I sat there in loving envy and hatred.

"Surely you jest, Missingnomer, loving hatred? That's like saying you are famous, but nobody knows it."

"What if I was famous-incognito and YOU didn't know?"

"You make no sense, bro."

"Pfffttt, you are saying I don't make sense? Ha! Go milk snail, then talk to me."

"I did already."

Don't cry for me, Dear Readers. My parents quickly came to my rescue! I obtained a lovely bottle of shampoo a month later!...... Ohhhh, ohhhhhhhh. Sorry, I guess you can cry for me.

All jokes aside, I really enjoyed last Christmas. It just goes to show that presents aren't everything. Just having the Elder Sages back is the only gift I need. I can't wait to do a bunch of fun things with them. Christmas has always pulled through for me every year. Nobody has to work, everybody is eating, and ugly Christmas sweaters are exchanged. It really is a special time of the year. The thing is that there is a very high chance that this is the last Christmas that my family will spend here. Though I have said that a few times in my life, I somehow believe it this time. This truly will be our last Christmas on this rock.... Wow... That's so.... Wonderful.

Dreams do actually come true.....
