My darling hallmate Jane got in a lot of trouble for stealing a Chirstmas Angel off the Tree in the caf. Being raised Jewish I wasn't sure how big a deal this was... Then I remember I was at a Catholic college... and realized poor Jane had some explaning to do... so this is what she did...THIS is why I love her.

Dear Joan B*,
On Friday, December 5, a friend of mine dared me to take the angel off the top of the Christmas tree in the cafeteria. Without hesitation, I thought it would be funny as well, so I did it. I am also a bit of a Grinch around the holidays because of sad family situations. So I took the angel. I had the intention of putting it back later in the week. It resided in my room for four days, and I decided to return it on Tuesday, but Kelly W* beat me to it. She came in my room and removed the angelic contraband; I felt guilty that I had not been able to put it back myself.
I was unaware that the angel meant so much to you, and that there were other elements involved in this situation other than humor. It was insensitive of me to follow through with this dare. I should have thought about the effort involved, with decorating the tree, as well as the cafeteria workers being questioned about the whole incident. I’m so sorry that it made you feel bad and stressed out. I promise you that I’m a generally good person, I just hate Christmas so much, and taking the angel made me laugh-- something that I don’t do so often around the holidays. This act was not directed to you or anyone in particular; it was an act of immaturity and mischievousness. I’m sorry for spilling my awful feelings for Christmas onto you and the staff. It was a bad choice, and I promise it won’t happen again.
Have a safe and happy vacation. If you need help with anything, or would like to speak to me in person, feel free to call me. I don’t bite.
Love,
Jane D.
