Mary Xmass, Santa’s wife

Happy Christmas, dear reader ;)

There's a Christmas party going on outside my bedroom right now. It's 01:10 am. I don't know about other cities and countries, but I think that some time ago someone here has confused Christmas with New Year – at least in Uruguaiana, people will wait awaken for the midnight, and then the fireworks will start, and everything will go just like what, as far as I'm concerned, should a New Year party be.

Even worse, everyone kiss merry-Christmas everyone, wishing luck, and overall good things. I FIND THIS SO TERRIBLY POINTLESS. Wasn't Christmas meant to be time to reflect about life? My ideal Christmas, I think, is everyone on their homes, with nobody but the people they live with, eating turkey for lunch (not right after midnight, as it is here). A time for restraining, for self reflection.

Now, New Year is a completely different thing. Yeah, it's also time for reflections, but it's, foremost, the time to think about the future – it's not only about thinking of what you have or haven't done during the year, but also how to make it all better on the upcoming year! I definitely see the point on waiting until January 1st midnight, since it's the beginning of a new year, and, why not, a new era. And I also undoubtedly see the point on kissing happy-new-year everyone, wishing all the best. But doing all this on Christmas… Anyway.

Christmas undergrounds? As disappointing as any other time of the year. All I've got is a small plan, which I'm still not that confident about. I'm gonna write my heart down. That's it. But it's not for today, so look forward for further news.

Well, since it's Christmas, I think I can ask a few things to Santa, can't I? Well, all I want is love, peace... And the brand-new iPod Touch :P Come on, I'm capitalist and I'm very proud of it :D

And for you, dear reader, I only wish peace on your heart... Other things I'd wish for are much more New Year-esque, so see you then :D
