I've cone to a realization. I don't hate Christmas. I hate most of the things associated with it. I hate the crass commercialism, the rampant materialism, the non-stop Christmas music, not to mention the smug theophobes and self-styled pagans who feel the need to point out that Christmas is "really a pagan holiday."

Today was a weird day. I overslept just a little. Not so much I missed class or was late, but enough that I was barely on time for my first class. Then, since I had no money for lunch, I hung out a bit.
