I’ll tell you what…I love this time of year. I love everything about it. The cheesy songs, the cheesy decorations…the cheesy logs.

Growing up, my family had a bunch of Christmas traditions. Traditions that still make an appearance every year. Christmas Eve is the big event in our family. My father barricades himself in the kitchen and cooks a giant seafood dinner. Crab. Lobster. Shrimp. Cheesy logs. We open gifts and sing carols. It’s an old fashioned Griswald Christmas, to say the least. (By the way, that movie is must-see every year around this time. “Christmas Vacation”. Watch it. Seriously.)

This year hopes to bring on new traditions. I just got married in September. My new bride is really good at sledding, so I’m sure it’s going to become a yearly thing—as long as there is snow to slide on! Really good at sledding, you ask? She is very proud of being able to hang with the boys. Jump off the ramps. Go down the hill backwards at warp speed. Seriously, she loves it and will talk your ear off about it if you ask. Creating some new holiday traditions with my wife will be a priority this year. I can’t wait!

Merry Christmas! And here’s to the holiday season! Bring on the Egg Nog.
