That cousin bitterly looking at your date, drunk before dinner to avoid the "why don't you have a boyfriend?" interrogation by your great aunt has always been me. Not only have I since found someone to spend the holidays with, I am now starting traditions with someone I love as we spend our first holiday season together. November - January are already a time of high spirits and new beginnings, and what better way to spend the holidays than with your person.
Here is what I am looking forward to while spending my first winter with the one I love:
1. I love your family, and I'm excited to see how you celebrate.
2. If we go black Friday shopping, you'll keep me safe from the mobs.
3. My hands and feet will always be warm.
4. We can do all of the cute holiday traditions for couples.
5. You won't judge me when I get super drunk on NYE to forget how shitty 2016 was
6. We can watch all of my favorite Christmas movies together
7. What is cuter than drinking hot chocolate together, all bundled up?
8. We get to put a Christmas tree up, together
Basically, everything I love to do over the holidays, I will now be doing with you. Here is to many more winters together.
