I woke up this morning with the hugest pain in my neck, and, more than 12 hours later, as I type this, the pain remains and has found a comfy home, it seems. You can tell from this picture that I walked around all day with my head tilted, like I'm trying to model for some beard-based monthly magazine (get me a subscription for that gold). That aside, Christmas Eve is always a day where my whole family comes together at my house and acts like a bunch of nutcases, since, well, that's what we are. I was able to step back at one point in the day and really think about how lucky I am. There are very few people in my family that live farther than a short drive away, and that has resulted in a great closeness. I can confidently say that I blame my family for me being the insane person I am today. The best point in the day, in my opinion, was when I heard my cousin's friend, who joined our family today in the festivities, say that we have a wonderful family, and we helped her make Christmas special. It's the kind of thing you can't entirely appreciate until an outsider (for lack of a better term) comes along and sees it from a new perspective. Merry Christmas everyone. :)
