Wow, my first holiday season really got away from me! Two Thanksgivings, two Christmases and one Chanukah would tire anyone out, especially this little dude.

It all started over in Nyack where I met cool new people and saw old friends.

Before I knew it, the day ended back in Manhattan at Sally and Peter’s place where I met not one but TWO dogs. It was pretty epic.

I also met my cousin, Jesse…

… and Charlie.

I gave Charlie a gift.

Plus I ate turkey for the first time.

Nailed it.

But the best was hanging with my Great Nana, Carol.

For a quick breather, we all went up to my folks’ little country cabin.

Where my Grand Poppy and Victoria came to visit.

Soon, it was time to hang with my Mom’s folks again…

… where I had the distinct pleasure of watching two Grandmas compare notes.

And get presents!

Then I quickly hung out with my Dad’s Mom’s family for breakfast…

… before hitting the road again, this time to my Great Grandy and Bob’s place in Hanover (it gets confusing, trust me).

I was rewarded with a new, trademark Grandy knit hat…

… complete with some last minute adjustments.

Ivana began teaching me to read…

… and walk.

Something that Bob is doing quite well himself.

Finally, this guy with an afro magically turned upside down. That really blew me away, Dan!

It was a whirlwind and I needed to rest back at the cabin.

Rest and get serious about my stand-up career.

And then, to top it all off, we had a fun visit from our friend Dan and his boy, Max.

At the end of the day, it was a lovely, perfect season. Thank you all for making it so wonderful!
