Seems silly, but the letters are serious. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17558430

A hint of white Christmas yesterday morning, but rain came back soon. Only 10% chance of having a white Christmas in Vancouver on average... Likely this year we'll have a "wet" Christmas again.

Merry Christmas to everyone. If you are feeling the same as I am, you are in the right mood:-) If not, well, here are some tips:
1. Write to Santa (better not in Chinese);
2. Give a listen to this week's Vinyl Cafe: Dave and his turkey story.  (Not in Canada? Well you've missed a hell of a lot of fun);
3. Buy yourself a present -- I ordered the whole year of TIME magazine for myself (right right I know it's stupid... but I'm poor);
4. Watch movies that require no mental labor, e.g. Ghostbusters;
5. Get enough sleep.

Personally, I think the last one is the most important of all.
