A Holiday Email to a Dear Friend

dear xiaobi,

i am studying for my enviro midterm but i am also truly distracted. i keep thinking about the holidays and how to use them. when i was sick this weekend and my mom drove me back, we passed rockefeller center and saks and the xmas decorations werent up yet but it was still so exciting. right now i think that when you get back, we really must go around the city, (and hopefully it will be snowing) and we will be bundled up in many lovely appropriate christmasy clothes. patterned scarves and cushy sweaters and all that. we will go skating at rockefeller and go to serendipity and go to central park to make a snowman and go window shopping and gaze at all the sparkly bedazzling new decorations. actually we should build a snowman and then go to serendipity to warm up. then we should go xmas shopping or just window shopping and it will be so tremendously lovely because the holidays are always so cheery even if xmas itself is just a byproduct of rampant materialism and crass commercial advertising devoid of any spiritual significance save a sprinkle of filial devotion. but that doesn't matter because it will be so nice. and we will be wearing cozy warm mittens and snug hats and drinking foamy hot chocolate with marshmallows. and there will be christmas songs in the air and tinsel on the stores. won't that be nice?

best, bteeesd
