Why yes, it's January 10th, 16 days after Christmas, and we still have our tree. Due to various co-factors ("No, I said I would never misuse the word 'co-factors'") every one has just been too busy to take it down. If it were up to me, it would still be around on Valentines day, but I think tomorrow might be the day we finally lay to rest our wonderful Christmas tree.

I'm usually the last person in the house to go to bed, and I kind of like turning the tree off and look at it sitting in the dark. It reminds me of when I was a little kid and I would sneak down in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve, but I could only see the outline of the tree. It also made me wonder how Santa could see so well in the dark.

I kind of wish that I could still think like that at 22.
