As the graph shows, Randall's "apparent age" is still lower whenever snow is falling, though higher than when it's just begun snowing. Many people like snow for a variety of reasons; it may be nostalgic for them, it may be aesthetically pleasing, they may simply like walking around in snow, etc. |
| − | + | Randall's apparent age does not level out again at the original level within the time-frame of graph. Evidently, the mere presence of snow keeps Randall act somewhat childish; it may takes a lot more time (or reality-inducing [[1674: Adult|grown-up events]]) to catch up to his true age. He can be seen staring out of the window in the fourth panel, obviously still significantly entranced and distracted, even if he is no longer running around in age-inappropriate excitement. | |
| − | + | The title text refers to another common behavior of many adults- [[Tracking|constantly refreshing tracking websites]] to see if a package has moved- and compares it to the idea of a child who believes in Santa and tries to stay up late enough to see him deliver presents. | |
