Tonight was the annual Christmas party with all my friends. I remember the days of drunken insanity when everybody had to stay the night. Now we decorate cookies with the kids. The wives talk about the guys and the guys play rock band. The party is over early because the kids need to get some sleep. Instead of the sun coming up and telling us to go to bed.
This is not all bad. I don't miss the days of drunken intoxication. They were good times but they are not missed. Growing up just kind of hits you all at once. The crazy party's seemed like a very short time ago but in all reality the party has been winding down for years.
I'm just fortune at enough to still see all my friends. We don't see each other as much as we did in high school. But our lives aren't as simple as things were back then. This party is one thing I always look forward too during this time of year. I plan to do my best to keeping this tradition going on for a very long time. It's not the out control party anymore but it has become very important to me. I think tonight was one of the best party's we have had. It's fun watching our kids grow up and making jokes about the stupid things we used to do. I hope our kids are as luck as us to have such a great group of friends.
Love you guys and Merry Christmas.
