What does one put in a title?

Ah Christmas! The grand event of the past no more! I can definitely say that I understand your lackluster experience. I can't say that I can totally empathize, but I do understand. Every year a little bit more of the excitement wanes. I suppose that it is not as dramatic a change for me simply because I still have three close siblings to keep alive the spirit of childhood. Not only that but the happy occasion of their arrival home makes up where Christmas lacks. Although Christmas is different I suppose... Money tight, definitely, and life transitions in full swing. I do hope that I do not compare our respective Christmases unfairly. I wish you all the happiness of next years holiday, new year, and hopefully the excitement of Christmas will show up belatedly at some undisclosed point. In fact, I am certain that one must always find something to take as much joy in as a child does in Christmas. One simply can't live without some kind of happiness to spur imagination. I wonder what you have found as a replacement to the childhood joys.... I wonder what I have found. I shall think on it.

As for your reading, it seems to have done you good. Bayil Ringtail is a superb name. And a vole I believe fairly fitting for one such as yourself. Never having actually seen one however, I cannot vouch for the resemblance, but one would hope it is not too close. I suppose a hedgehog doesn't exactly fit my description. I can't say I've ever been called 'prickly' or even 'cute and cuddly', but then again, perhaps those are not descriptions to be sought after. In fact, I think I'll stay away from the prickly bit. I believe I had thought I'd be an otter. Unfortunately, being the incredibly creative and imaginative person I am, I cannot remember my previous name nor come up with a new one. Suggestions most welcome. In the mean time, I shall think on it.

I seem to have run on. I suppose I'm a bit on the slap-happy side of things. I just discovered that the massive amount of Pre-cal homework I thought all due this week is, in fact, not due until next week, some of which will be done in class. *whew* Needless to say, I'm a tad relieved.

Best wishes as always, and thank you sincerly your offer of unburdening minds and such- it's good to know,
Megan
