Merry
Christmas! Well, a belated Merry Christmas.
I truly hope that you all enjoyed a peaceful and safe holiday. This year
was a very special Christmas for me. It’s been a long year for my family,
between floods and pageants and graduations and school, and it was nice to be
able to bask in each other’s health and company. My sister, Keelie, traveled
from NYC to spend a few days with us. My other sister, Kieren, and her fiancé Shawn
made the much shorter drive from Schenectady to be with us. We enjoyed homemade
pizza and monkey bread on Christmas Eve as we continued our tradition of
opening pajamas and new ornaments. On Christmas day, we spent the morning with
my dad and step-mom and the afternoon/evening with my mom. I had the honor of
cooking Christmas dinner, and while it was non-traditional (with a few road
bumps) I’d say it was a success.

Above
anything else, this Christmas made me thankful. No, it wasn't perfect. But it
was Christmas with the people I love and that’s really all that I need. I am so
thankful for the wonderful people that fill my life: my family, friends,
classmates, and directors. Today my sisters went home and everything is back to
normal. I miss them already. There’s nothing like this time of year to make you
cherish the simple things in life: friendship, love, laughter. So, Merry
Christmas everyone! And may the spirit of the season linger a little bit longer
this year.
