I cooked my first big-ass turkey breast. All on my own. I made stuffing from the box. I sauteed mushrooms and onions. Later we baked cookies...

This year I got my first adult Christmas tree. It has lights and red and gold ornaments. I wrapped the presents and put them under the tree. I haven't had a Christmas tree since I was thirteen.

I never thought I would find this bliss of domesticity so comforting.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
