For someone who has ostensibly outgrown staying up late waiting for Santa, I do spend an awful lot of time refreshing websites to see if packages are here yet.

    I’m from Finland. This is how it usually goes in the winter:

    During the 2 hours of daylight we get at this latitude:

    • Ooooooh this is pretty
    • Bet I can get some nice photographs
    • …or I would, if the sky wasn’t overcast goddamn it

    Other times:

    • Rummaging through the closet for wool socks and more clothing
    • Put on the headphones, hit the metal music collection on my Nokia, and face the Darkness with a grim stare
    • Would hit the beer, but not in this economy

      Sounds fun! If beer is getting too pricey by you, you can always make some prison hooch in a bag to help brighten those dark, dark days
