And so I find myself on this Christmas morning waking up in a hotel room, with my partner and kids, getting ready to drive across more mountains to visit a family we lived with while I was finishing up my PhD, my oldest kid was a baby, and we got priced out of Vancouver. Should be a good Christmas, if a bit weird.
So, merry Christmas to all of you who want to celebrate it in some way: I hope you find a small way to celebrate, no matter how weird your current situation is.
