Ever since I was a little child, I have always looked forward to Christmas.

At first it was all about the wonderful presents that Santa left under the tree, but as I grew older, I realized the holiday season is a great time to catch up with family and old friends.

This year, that is exactly what I promised myself to do.

I planned my social calendar between the last two weeks of December to accommodate each invite, and with a little bit of juggling here and there, I was so excited at being able to fit everyone in.
