Summary
Apollo tips his head against the window and thinks of years spent watching the holiday season pass him by from behind a wall of glass, too parent-less and too sad and not culturally-Christian enough for Christmas in sunny Los Angeles. The lights, the music, the tinsel and fake snow and the false smiles of supposedly happy families, it all always seemed like sentimental veneer to him—as though holiday cheer were something of a commodity, peddled to people with far simpler lives and far happier families than his.
He thinks, now, that he may not have it entirely right. He may, in fact, just be lonely.
