It’s Thursday. Here we are, it’s Christmas Eve already. Under normal circumstances the girlfriend and I would be at my parents place tonight enjoying a giant feast and opening brightly colored presents with the rest of my family. Of course, nothing has been normal this year so by now it shouldn’t feel weird to be home with just the two of us—but it does. It bothers me because I know my mom really misses having everyone together and that’s not going to happen. It sucks, but we have to get through this safely so that everyone will still be around when we are able to get together again.

So, let’s try to make the best of it.

Yep, time to break out the hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps, and order a pizza!
