meditations on a leather-bound journal, pt. xi

It's ironic, me getting a notebook for Christmas. It was one of those gifts where the label came off, so nobody remembered where it came from. I said 'thanks' even though I didn't know who to thank, but I think I know. Maybe the label didn't come off at all.

I looked for her name among the scraps of paper, just in case. Nothing. Just a lot of text wishing the recipient a merry Christmas, or a happy holiday season.

If you were wondering, I checked. The notebook is conspicuously lacking an entry for the Christmas season.
