The Holidaze & Home-made Tattoos

The hol­i­days are among us and for the first time in years I’ve jumped onto the holiday-cheer band­wagon. I’m usu­ally not a big Christ­mas fan, but
for some rea­son this year was dif­fer­ent. I mean, sure I get gifts for my fam­ily and friends, and visit a list of peo­ple on Christ­mas day, but that’s usu­ally the extent of it. Not this year, though! I like to think that we went “all out” in our apartment…I mean, we did hang lights in the house, I baked some cook­ies, and we even got a tree for the liv­ing room. That’s a lot for us! I can’t express how happy I get when I walk into the house and smell the fresh pine. That first breath is so won­der­ful. Oh, and the glee I get when those lights go on in the evening. I’m like…well…like a child on Christ­mas morning.

And what goes hand-in-hand with Christ­mas time? Home-made tat­toos! Well, not quite, but this did hap­pen a few nights ago at the Michelsen Com­pound. I’m not too sure what inspired this, but it was fun none-the-less and a rea­son to party on a Tues­day. Though I passed up on get­ting inked and will save my skin for some shop work, those who went under the nee­dle seemed to have enjoyed them­selves immensely. I hope the work is heal­ing up well, people.

Best wishes to every­one for a great hol­i­day and a safe New Year!
