This Christmas is going to be a weird one. I have to really go out of my way to make it even remotely seem like Christmas is around me this year. I knew it would be like this, but knowing that I’ll be missing all the festive activities with Mindy, my family and her family is still a bummer no matter how you look at it. Nonetheless, there is always next year so I’ll have to double down on the festivities then.

I’ll be at school on Christmas Day but I plan on eating chicken and cake during my lunch to celebrate Japanese style since that’s what a lot of people here think is the traditional style meal. You should see how busy it is at KFC. It’s crazy town. I’m tempted to go, but battling the lines and the long wait times don’t seem like a fun way to spend the time.

Also, I have to prepare a short little presentation on a movie review on the 26th. Naturally, I’m choosing Scott Pilgrim vs the World since it’s got a great mix of pop culture and some Canadiana mixed in. So needless to say, I’ll be studying on Christmas, like a good boy. Did you hear that Santa?

We did have a pretty rad Christmas Eve dinner tonight. Homemade pizza and various types of fried meats (beef, pork, fish, etc.) but all roads lead to chicken always tasting the best. There was also a cake, but everyone ate so much dinner that there was no room for dessert. Alas, we can go crazy on the cake tomorrow.

I hope you all have a great Christmas holiday and really cherish the moments you have with others. Those specific moments will only ever happen once, so don’t let them pass carelessly.

I also hope you find your Christmas Unicorn.
