For someone who has ostensibly outgrown staying up late waiting for Santa, I do spend an awful lot of time refreshing websites to see if packages are here yet.

I'm from Finland. This is how it usually goes in the winter:

During the 2 hours of daylight we get at this latitude:

Ooooooh this is pretty
Bet I can get some nice photographs
...or I would, if the sky wasn't overcast goddamn it

Other times:

Rummaging through the closet for wool socks and more clothing
Put on the headphones, hit the metal music collection on my Nokia, and face the Darkness with a grim stare
Would hit the beer, but not in this economy

After the first month of sweeping snow off your car every morning you being to wonder how long until spring. If you also need to shovel snow every morning, it happens even faster.
