According to the Excelsior's time correction equipent, it is almost time to

celebrate the Terran ritual of Christmas. I've been busy decorating the server

room of the Excelsior with lights, ornaments, and other implements of the

holiday.

It seems weird that I would do this, despite the fact that I am the only

conscious person aboard the Excelsior. However, it gives me an excuse to

avoid my lack of faith in human beings and to excersize my body. I'm sitting

down writing this as a quick break before continuing my decorating.

I'm not just doing this for a sense of jolly. It also gives me an excuse to

manually check the cryo berths, which are all performing just fine.

Eventually I'll take all the decorations down and go back to checking QEC.

Until then, I'm being festive for a change.
