Super fast holiday season

I think I finally and fully turned that corner this year, away from holiday dread. I theorize this because it seemed to go so quickly. I mostly credit Diana for this change, and I'm thankful for it.

We started it out in style with Thanksgiving in North Carolina. From there we went to Disney World without Simon, and it was easily one of the most outstanding vacations we've had. We went to see A Christmas Carol, Diana's former show. Diana and Simon decorated the house and it was lovely. We toured a fire station. I got to see Wife v1.0. We watched the entire stack of holiday movies. There was toddler bowling. Christmas was wonderfully low-key at home. I more or less wasn't working most of the time, because I scored a new job. For the new year, we had a quiet date night at home followed by visits with friends the next day.

Good times. Being busy and doing fun stuff certainly keeps me distracted from the short days, and while I still have to fight the desire to hibernate, the SAD has been manageable so far. The last two weeks of snow have been a little difficult, but I keep telling myself that we've turned the corner. We have quite a few adventures coming up, and I'm looking for opportunities to do little weekend getaways.
