That time of the year is upon us once more. The time when a jolly old elf in a red suit makes his rounds giving presents to all the children around the world.

If by some miracle you’ve managed to not notice that Christmas is fast approaching, well… it is. And many of my fellow students are heading home for some traditional food, traditional snow (if home is north enough) and traditional presents. If you’re going home by plane (which is unlikely, I’m simply pretending to keep up an xmassy theme), here’s what you shouldn’t do.

Christmas time is here,
And so it is also time
For a new haiku.

The festive yuletide. The time of love, understanding and celebration of silence. It is time to ponder those very basic questions that define all existence. Especially: dinosaurs.
