Our usual hectic paced travels down to see family in Florida has been replaced with friends visiting from all over the country &#8211; and us having the best times of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>One of my best friends will be in from Brooklyn later today &#8211; Saturday night we have a big Dirty Santa and an even bigger honky tonkin&#8217; evening to follow.  For those of you who don&#8217;t live in Nashville:  Honky Tonkin&#8217; is what we like to call going out to honky tonk bars and dancing the night away.  None of us like country, per se, but just for the record &#8211; there is nothing more fun that watching (and then joining) a room full of drunken cowboys dance around in their boots and spurs.  Yes.  They really wear spurs.<\/p>\n<p>And, the time with the kids has been heavenly.  We are actually getting to enjoy each other.  Despite the fact that, currently, we all have the flu &#8211; we are still making the best of our time together.  One of the best things about being married to a professor;  the holiday time is plentiful!  He has been off since December 10th and will be off until January 13th.  heaven.. heaven.. heaven&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone else&#8217;s holiday is starting off equally as merry..
