When I had intended to begin this post, the day was December 23rd. However, time flies when you are looking up information on Phantasy Star Online. Anywho, today is Christmas Eve. Now, there is a phrase I have never quite been able to understand. How can Christmas Eve be an entire day? I always thought it was the evening before Christmas. Or, does it mean the coming of Christmas.? Truthfully, I no longer care. I lose interest in my foolish ramblings quite quickly.

Anyway, here I am. Sitting here in the first few minutes of Christmas Eve. My DS has been nestled into its spot on the shelf, because of those last few stars in Rainbow Ride of Super Mario 64 DS (a shorter title would have been prefered). Never have I been so angry at a small piece of metal and plastic. Nevertheless, I kept my cool and the DS kept itself in one piece. We’ve decided to take some time apart.

It is, for this exact reason, that I am here now.

Recently, it has come to my attention that people do not like Santa Claus taking precedence over Jesus at Christmas. My apologies. I should never generalize to that extreme. There are, in fact, a precious few who aren’t complete morons. If you are not a moron, pat yourself on the back and go by yourself a beer (or if underaged, your favourite flavoured milkshake). Santa doesn’t detract from Jesus’ importance. Any Christian who celebrates Christmas knows that the kid in the manger came before the man in the sleigh.

These are sad times.

Anyway, I’m greatly looking forward to Christmas. I’m hoping everyone likes the gifts I purchased them. They were pricy. However, it wasn’t the money put in that I hope marvels them. What I am hoping for is that they will realise the gifts I purchased them are things they’ve wanted all year, and for one reason or another, couldn’t obtain. My mothers gift should be especially touching…

Merry Christmas.
