It seems only natural that after a day of spending too much time with my family, that I need to be alone now. So, now I sit by myself while melancholic music drifts into space. The music melts into the background, whilst a flurry of recollections and other thoughts dominate my being.

Maybe this is what Christmas is about- introspection, rather than the mindless consumerism and vulgar excess that characterizes our lives and December in particular.
