Time and age

It is never more obvious to me than during the holiday season that our perception of time changes as we age. When I was a little kid, it felt as though Christmas would never come, but now I feel almost panicked that it is somehow mysteriously already December. I'm certain that if I blink it will be Christmas Eve.

There was a really interesting article about this phenomenon in Scientific American called "Why Does Time Seem to Speed Up with Age?" Check it out if you get the chance by clicking on the title.
