Write Every Day: Day #24

[auroracloud]

Merry Christmas / holiday of choice to everyone! I am bravely holding on despite our abysmal weather and the onslaught of depressing Finnish Christmas carols on the radio (seriously, WTF, I just don't get it, what's wrong with our people? why do carols have to be super-depressing?). The Christmas tree is pretty, there are lights, I've already had the traditional rice porridge and am now waiting for the Christmas dinner. I expect to get quite stuffed.

Today's writing

I finished all my Yuletide edits! Unless it occurs to me to improve the summary or the tags, I don't plan to touch it anymore before the reveals. About time! I also wrote a little more on the fic I began two nights ago, but I don't currently believe I'll manage to finish it as a treat. No matter, I'll finish it later and post it whenever it's done.

Really? Why are they depressing?

Now, if I could answer that, I'd be a lot closer to solving my constant conflict with my own nation and its national psyche, so to speak. ;-)

I think it has something to do with the idea that sad things are deeper, so you're deeper if you're all sad about all the bad things on Christmas. Possibly there's also a meaning to inspire compassion, to think of the unfortunate and be nicer towards them. Though I think there would be less depressing ways to do that. It might also be some misapplication of the Lutheran mentality. *g*

the whole "if they play Last Christmas one more time" rant applies here, too.

Ha, I think that's a problem across the entire part of the world under Western cultural influence. *g*
