And not because there was gifts…..

Last night we were invited to my buddy Jason’s and his lovely wife Amena’s Christmas party. They really go all out. Wonderful spread of food, all made by Jason, and wonderful deserts, all made by Amena. The house is warmly decorated with a beautiful tree and items of the season and feels so cozy and warm, you wonder where your pajamas are.

We stayed for a few hours and spent some time meeting some of the wonderful friends, relatives, and coworkers of Jason and Amena, but the best gift of all was reconnecting with my friend.

I met Jason about 10 years ago and about 1999 we lost touch. No bad feelings, not fights, just drifted. He tracked me down over the summer and with much conversation in between, it was with much celebration that I was able to see him again after too much time. There are few people you meet that you want to keep in touch with. Thankfully Jason felt the same way and now we can pick up where we left off. This in itself has made it a very Merry Christmas for me.
