you know it's that time of year when....

It's that time of year again. You know, Christmas time. Some of the obvious signs:

1. SNOW
2. People stalking people walking back to their cars for their parking spots and "claiming" them with their blinkers.
3. Christmas shopping bringing on that hint of agoraphobia
4. That strange feeling of urgency to get things done before Christmas but being off of school and doing nothing.
5. Incessent 'holiday music', which in stores starts to sound more and more like elevator music
6. That thought... "Can I possibly be related to these people?"
