Hello Festivities

This is the time of the year that rolls by with a gentle build-up before a week of feeling like you have espresso shots sent straight to the veins. Yes, it's Christmas - and with it, the annual family gatherings that leave you, in equal parts, fulfilled, contented and breathless (especially if done back to back). (Celebrations started slightly earlier this year, beginning with a laughter-filled evening at a Hollywood-themed party. The security guards were looking at us weird though). There is enough food to feed an army and stuck on the fridge is a list of dishes (with plenty of subpoints) to be prepared. I don't know how we managed to that the past 10 years. Next year, maybe we'll take a vacation, if I can convince the parents.
