I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Though I am young, I have so much to be thankful for.

This is my first Christmas as a married man. Over the weekend, my wife and I went to pick out our Christmas tree. She never had a real tree for the Holidays, just fake ones. I told her she never had a childhood, and took her to a tree lot. We decided to decorate everything in red and gold, and this is the result:

And again with the lights off:

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays, second only to Easter. This year, I get to celebrate it like I never have before. My wife and I did not live together, nor even spend one night together before we were married. This year, I get to wake up on Christmas morning next to my best friend. And I am truly excited.
