In America, today is the holiday that people tend to get together and give shit to each other; there is and a general feeling of warmth and goodwill between people. I am currently listening to James Taylor and thinking about the calmness and the feelings this season used to mean to me. But right now I'm alone and so far away from all my previous associations with Christmas. None of this is because I'm in China--in fact, I'm no longer in China.
