mystery? or not.

What is it about Christams that is so romantic? I have heard of a few couples who may be getting engaged over Christmas, and some couples who got engaged over Christmas last year. Why Christmas? Cause it's cozy and there's time away from work and school and all the family is together and all that stuff? There are soooo many Christmas songs about mushy romantic stuff I don't know what to do with myself! All I want to do is throw a snowball at my roommate! Well, er. yeah. And she's an old woman so I can't even do that!! Clearly I should be writing my paper right now and not be having a holiday outburst...off I go.
