* Christmas in Brooklyn was wonderful. Neither one of us traveled far to visit family (no traveling nightmare or family drama this time around). Instead we spent time with friends, talking endlessly, playing Nintendo Wii, watching a Jim Henson’s Christmas movie, sharing food and drinks. But the most wonderful thing of it all was that we stayed home. Brooklyn is home now.

* What a pleasant gift… “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, a novel.
