It was a pretty laid-back holiday. I hosted Christmas Eve dinner and my parents, Jake, and Amelia were in attendance. My mom hosted Christmas Day and it was just me, my parents, and my brother and his family.
While we all received some nice gifts, Jake made out like a bandit (I guess that’s one advantage of having divorced parents). I’m not sure how he will fit everything in his car when he returns to Virginia!
Our office is always closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Last year, we gave everyone a few extra days off and we did the same this year–Thursday and Friday.
