"Coming Soon: Christmas" by ARK

I've posted before that I am excited for Christmas this year, right? I hope you read that post. If not, here it is:

I guess I spoke too soon when I posted that. Because right now, I do not feel the excitement anymore. It's like the feeling quickly faded. The days are passing, and Christmas is fast approaching. But really...is it the season to be jolly yet?

Is it just me, or is the Christmas spirit really weak this year? Is it the lack of Christmas lights on the streets? Is it the lack of Christmas music playing randomly? Is it the lack of Christmas-themed episodes on TV? Or is it too early to seek for these things?

Or is it me? Have I been trying too hard to be productive that I have lost my sense of enjoyment? I feel the need to mature and do things in a more organized way-- that is how it will be when I graduate, so might as well get used to it now.


But though I do enjoy allotting my time to things that matter, I want to keep myself on the right track...on the happy track. I must not forget to play. I should wake up my childish self just in time for the celebration of Christmas.


I am not excited, and I am afraid Christmas will also just pass me by, like any other day. I must do something special that day, or else I will not feel it at all. Hmm...what can I do to get myself into the Christmas spirit?

For one, posting this is already having an effect on me. All this talk about Christmas is getting me in the mood. But I still have to do something special. All work and no play makes Ark a dull angel.

Which reminds me the opposite situation for Dev, who is all play and no work. Hmm...what could I give to my brother this Christmas? After all, this is our first time spending Christmas on Earth.
