After I graduated from college, I missed the closeness and access to friends from when I was living in the dorm. Then I realized that didn’t have to go away, which is why I’m enjoying this holiday season so much. Plus being a newlywed adds a little extra cheer–let’s call it romanticism–to the festivities. Simply put, it gives things a new perspective.

Sky and I enjoyed a Thanksgiving lunch with her family and a Thanksgiving dinner with mine. Christmas Eve brought us to my parent’s house and Christmas Day will bring Sky’s family to ours. December has brought evenings of feasting, singing, and general fun. I’m looking forward to a couples evening we’ll be having next week. All in all, I think the last few months of twenty-aught-nine can be summarized by the dance scene of Charlie Brown’s Christmas:

It’s been wonderful spending time with my new wife, my new and old friends, and our families. And with quite a few weddings on the horizon, the next decade is looking exciting. Happy Christmas to all!
