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

      After the first month of sweeping snow off your car every morning you being to wonder how long until spring. If you also need to shovel snow every morning, it happens even faster.
