“I’m an Atheist. So I don’t believe in any divine meaning by Christmas, but I do like the idea that Christmas is the darkest point of the year, so the world is just gonna get lighter. It’s also the end of a long school period, so Christmas does give me hope that the next semester is gonna be good and relaxing-even though it never is.” Julian Lee-Zacheis (9)]]>
