I hope you had a wonderful Christmas filled with joy, laughter, and all your favorite traditions. Now take a deep breath and relax—but don’t even think about packing up the holidays yet! The festive season isn’t over. Keep the lights glowing, enjoy the leftovers, and soak in those cozy vibes as we get ready to ring in the New Year.

For us, the celebration continues in a big way. As many of you know, I’m an Ohio State Buckeye and Nathan is a Miami Hurricane, which means our New Year’s plans revolve around football—specifically the Cotton Bowl. There’s nothing quite like closing out the year cheering on your team, and this matchup should be a lot of fun to watch.

Here’s to stretching the holiday magic just a little longer and kicking off the New Year with excitement, friendly rivalry, and plenty of team spirit.
