A question a day. From science to sports, literature to leisure, God to groceries. As two 19 year old college students from Ronkonkoma, NY we know less than we think. This is to get us thinking.

Question One
How did this Christmas "feel" to you, compared to previous Christmas mornings?
I really wasn't that excited to wake up on Christmas morning. Usually it is hard to sleep because I have so much anticipation about what I would be getting, how many presents there would be, etc. This time I really just wanted to sleep until I woke up, relax, and take it easy. The awe and excitement of Christmas as a child is gone, and now all I really looked forward to was seeing the reactions my family members would have when they opened what I got them. I guess once I have kids, the best thing will be seeing their faces and their excitement when they experience the mysteriousness of Christmas each year. I guess these days, its just better to enjoy the time you have home with family and friends.
I wasn't excited either. It's been like that for the last couple Christmas's though. It was a little different me though in that I have a little rascal seven year old brother who woke everyone up early. But if it wasn't for that I coulda slept in, and I think my whole family except Joe would agree. The best part was spending time with my family. As opposed to other Christmases where all I cared about were the presents. Which is cool because I get to see that in Joe. I think its interesting how my perspective has shifted from what I can get to what I can give. Its different no doubt, but I like being on this side of things.
