Tell me about your holiday! What was the best gift you gave someone this year? What was the best part about your day?

I am working from home today and then off to round out our 8th (and final) wedding of 2014. Tim is a groomsman in it, so tonight is the rehearsal dinner for our friends Doug and Carolyn, and tomorrow is their Boston wedding. I am exhausted, but hoping to find some energy at some point today.
