And I want to thank everybody for a great holiday. I stressed pretty hard about getting things done in time and at one point wasn't sure how it could possibly end up being a memorable Christmas, if not a down right sad one (my first one ever without my grandmother) but it turned out to be pretty amazing in a lot of ways. And that even had nothing to do with presents! My family get-together was a lot of fun despite our recent loss (which is how I think it should be and how she would want it) due in large part, I think, to my cousin and his wife doing a great job of starting a family of their own which is an amazing thing to watch. Two of my friends are getting married (to each other,) I got to crowd surf up a staircase, had unexpected friends surprise me at my party and received very nice emails from the people I do business with thanking me for my work.
