The Comforts of Home

As I write this, I am sitting with my family listening to old vinyls of artists like Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Manhattans. This is home. I am taking a brief moment out of this Christmas Eve to share with you all some of my favorite parts of this season, my own comforts of home. They’re simple pleasures that I have learned not to take for granted:

1. A roaring fire on a cold winter’s night

I am so lucky to be surrounded by family tonight, and I wish everyone a holiday filled with laughter, joy and love.

More Vegas adventures to come!
