Deck the halls with boughs of something, fa la la la la la la la la.

It's that time of the year again and it still kind of sucks. My family is weird and small and not what it should be. There's supposed to be noise and amazing smells and organized chaos. Not this

"I thought we were already there," Lucy quipped, one corner of her mouth hitching up as she climbed onto the train beside Meg. Admittedly, it made her feel a little less ridiculous to be riding beside someone who wasn't a stranger. This whole jolly, cheery thing really wasn't working for her, and the train especially seemed catered to the island's younger residents. Just then, she really didn't give a damn. "Please tell me it doesn't get crazier than this."

"Yes, but this is the express train on a long journey to nowhere," I explain as if that justifies anything. It doesn't but I like to try, at least sometimes.

"I'd say I don't think it could, but I have a feeling if I did, this place would try to prove me wrong," Lucy said, making a face. It wouldn't have been the first time, after all, and usually those things tended to be more bad than good. "And this is already too much. We're riding on a train."

"One that might have been made by candy crazy elves no less," I add with a nod before taking another sip of my drink.

Shrugging, I consider the whole thing. As far as weirdness levels go this one is practically boring.

"Not bad. It makes getting places easier."
