One More Day.

After today, the university is closed until January 2nd.
There is a god after all. It has been a seriously trying week for me here at work and I am so very excited for the nice, long, paid time away.

This year is our 6th Christmas together. But believe it or not, we have never spent a Christmas Eve or day together. But the holidays are special to both of our families, so the thought never really crossed our minds to spend it with the other's family. Well that and the fact that they live about 200 miles from each other pretty much keeps us from celebrating together.

Not this year folks.

Tim and I are driving to NYC early early early Monday morning to celebrate Christmas Eve with my family on Long Island. Christmas Eve is much bigger in my family than the actual day, so I am looking forward to the food, fun and presents! We are making multiple stops all over the Island to see various family members before settling down at my Aunt & Uncles for the traditional Christmas Eve fish dinner.

Sometime Christmas morning, we are driving back to Boston and having Tim's family (parents, sister, brother-in-law and nephew) over for dessert, fun and games. Even though we are going to be exhausted from all the driving I am really excited for the holidays this year.

What are you all doing?
What are you looking forward to most?
