Monday Five – Best Things About the Holidays

January 4th, 2010

OK normally we do a #fridayfive and not a #mondayfive, but there was some level of emergency this morning, as most of us had intense vacation withdrawal. So a nice retrospective about all the good times we’d just had seemed in order. The #mondayfive was “Five Best Things About the Holidays” and friends and alcohol were both popular themes. Anyone surprised to learn I hang with an urban tribe of heavy drinkers? Anyway, my holiday was phenomenal, and while I don’t normally do gratitude, I can do a fond remembrance without too much emotional difficulty.

So without further of all this ado business, here are the best things about our recently departed holidays:
