do they know it's Christmastime?

3 more hours to the release of SAT results.
2 days to Christmas.
11 days to 2010.
12 more days to the start of school.
12 more days to the start of Welcome Week.
12 more days to genetics test, trigonometry test, math ia, ee deadlines, etc.etc.
11 more months til IB exam.

Our lives are ruled by numbers. Sadly.

I think they should also be ruled by moments.

Something Ms Smyth said really touched me : Success is not measured in dollars but in happiness.

Christmas seems like the time when people are allowed/encouraged/expected to be happy and believe in miracles and good things and the goodness of humanity. But shouldn't every day be Christmas?
