I can't believe it will be soon over a year of me having joined the army. I wonder if the Captain will wish me christmas this year too. Last time, it was only because I broke his character play that he said what he said, this time he'll probably not involve, like he said. It's not like I was expecting anything, but I have never so sincerely been wished before. I understood later that the Captain really doesn't wish anyone no matter the occasion. So that wish, was not to celebrate the occasion itself, but it was for me to celebrate it.
Not even Sammy knows: my birthday is on christmas. It's something that I never really cared to celebrate, since people already had an occasion to focus on. And it wasn't like I had many people around me either.
