Laying low for the holidays.

This day last year I was on a last-minute flight to the Dominican Republic to join a friend instead of spending the holidays alone. Parts of my family were out of town so we had pushed back our family celebration until closer to the new year, and I'd spent one other Christmas Eve/Christmas alone in the the preceding decade and that truly sucked, so there I was, on my way to the Caribbean.

This day this year? I'm staying put, spending time with K, and celebrating the holidays with my family tomorrow. And I couldn't be happier about it.
