Christmas has never really been a big deal to me as an adult but I still felt obligated to indulge for my extended family's sake and only in recent years have forgone gift all-together. This year was even better. Because NYE and my Birthday are more big a deal for me, I took off of work for then and hung around in KY for Xmas. It turned out to be one of my favorite holidays. Xmas eve included board games, indoor bouldering and T-shirt weather. Tyler and I planned a delicious vegetarian Christmas dinner and one of the other guys on property joined us. We slept in and went for a short hike to follow some of the streams that were overflowed on property because of all the rain before starting dinner. We also had lots of wine. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect time. No stress (except making sure dinner was delicious!). At one point Ty mentioned that he hadn't gotten me anything for Xmas. I smiled because thats exactly what I wanted for Xmas! Just to spend time togethe...
