[Graham lined up the pieces of the tin soldier in order of descending size this time. Not that they had a lot of parts. And he was feeling somewhat guilty about receiving gifts, with none to give. He never thought in a hundred years that people would give him gifts.]
As you're aware, I'm totally out of Christmas cheer. Maybe it's the nature of this place, but this winter seems to be draggin' on forever and ever and ever and ever. [Which means something coming from a guy born and raised in Chicago.
Really, with his frustration of not being able to dismantle things like he used to, conjoined with homesickness, loneliness and boredom, Graham has having a lot more downswings than up. His mood was either at zero or 100, but lately it was spending more time at zero than the other.]
Maybe I will be visited in my sleep by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, and perhaps then I'll recant my feelings about his holiday! But until then, I'll continue to be crushed underneath it.
[That word is accompanied by him crushing the poor tin soldier's head with his fist. Now he can't put the whole thing back together again. Whoops.]
