distant memory

I ran into one of my former classmates today, who is occasionally in my building as part of his official duties. He asked about my Christmas, and I told him that it was different. Holidays here are pretty much an open and shut case. At home, it's a whole other story. There are still gatherings going on there, for better or worse. The decorations probably won't come down until after the new year.

Christmas is quickly becoming a distant memory here.
