忻日子 by Sheena

I've got to note this crazy night -- before Christmas.

The paper for Dec. 25, 2007, is HUGE -- 1,029 inches in 28 pages.
Of no surprise, the city and state desks had like 10 stories all together.
Thanks to them, and to the early deadlines, Christmas is officially on my hate list... honestly. :P
