This holiday season wasn’t the first time that I didn’t see my family for the holidays, but it was the first time that I didn’t see them and I didn’t really have a good reason for it. In the past couple years it’s been traveling to other places. It really is nice to take advantage of the free days off and spend some extra time on vacation, but this year I didn’t really even feel like doing that. This year, we stayed around town and enjoyed just hanging out and avoiding the Christmas season. Instead of being constantly pissed off by crowds in airports and slow-moving traffic on highways we spent time with all of our friends that grew up locally or were in the same situation as us. It was nice.

Oh yeah, and we also painted the door, as Kat previously mentioned. It looks like this:

The Metroplaza, now featuring a yellow door

So next time you come over, don’t worry, you’re at the right house.
