This is it folks, the last session of Whim for this wonderous season. As you all know this was my first season as a Whim Executive and I would like to say thank you for reading the Vent Section, and commenting on the articles--both my own and our other illustrious staff members. I would like to thank the staff for their continious contributions and their help in everything that made this section great. Thanks goes out to Baudi Ratcliffe-Hollins for her amazing graphics (and all the last minute help she gave when we were in a pinch or my computer acted up). Thanks to Genevive Limpin for her copy-editing of my section, again she dealt with some last minute problems. As a final thanks, I shall once again address our audience: thank you and have a merry christmas. When the next season of Whim dawns in January I shall no longer be managing this vent section. I know it just breaks your hearts, but I shall be moving on to become the Executive Assistant of Whim Magazine and helping to break in the new Manager you all shall be reading from.

Have a merry, merry Christmas!

Then and Now
Michelle Lee | Guest Writer

The classical hero rides on a white horse and always arrives just in the nick of time to save you, no matter what predicament you got yourself into. On the other hand, my hero came in a military hummer with his face covered in army paint looking rough like he just got back from WWII, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

The Meaning of Christmas
Graham Cawthon | Guest Writer

The snow is falling, finals are approaching, and everyone is anxious to get home. It's clearly Christmastime once again, but what exactly does that mean in today's world? With shoppers being trampled at the mall and so much focus on the possible economy boost, has the commercialism of the season gone too far? Does anyone here know what Christmas is all about?

Invaluable Necessity
Christian Ang | Guest Writer

Clothes have an impact on who we are, where we came from and who we hang around. You can tell most about a person from what he or she wears. The problem with this is many people do not just buy clothes to cover themselves. They buy clothes for the brand name and recognition.

Young Traveler
Christian Ang | Guest Writer

I have been doing things on my own since I was a child. Being the only child in the family has some advantages and disadvantages. One distinct advantage is you never have to share anything with your siblings and being the priority whenever I wanted the attention. One big disadvantage was being alone and having no one your age to spend time with.
