All I want for Christmas...

Is eight hours' uninterrupted sleep.

A little time with those I care for, whether that time is spent on opposite ends of a couch or opposite ends of a phone line.

Time to relax. Alone.

We need more holidays for introverts.

Holiday Fun!

1. Sign onto your instant messaging programs.

2. If you see anyone else online and available, it probably means they're either alone, or everyone else is asleep, and they might be lonely. It is, after all, a holiday about family*!

3. So, IM them and brag about what a great time you're having, and then go AFK or put up your away message before they can even say hello. That'll cheer them up for sure.
