And, just like that, 2017 is in the books.<\/p>\n

In a couple of days, we\u2019ll be looking at 2018. That\u2019s when all the excitement of a new year will set in fully and we\u2019ll all push forward to see what kind of things we can accomplish.<\/p>\n

For now, we need to put a topper on 2017 with the final photo blogging challenge post of the year. And it\u2019s all about holly jolly.<\/p>\n

This month really flew by for me. I didn\u2019t take near as many photos as I would have liked, but I got some shots I like. \u00a0It really was a fun holiday season, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get on with this \u2026 being I apparently had a hard time with dates for this month. Here are my five and I look forward to other posts!<\/p>\n

1. Christmas Eve<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron is now at the age where he’s getting it and it’s a lot of fun watching. And check him rocking the bow tie on Christmas Eve!<\/p>\n

2. The Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York City can be wonderful this time of year. Just a week before Christmas, and I was shocked how close we got to the famous Rockefeller tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Ho! Ho! Ho!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual Christmas parade was in early December in my town and, of course, Santa made an appearance!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. New York City<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a pretty famous spot during the holiday season while in NYC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Christmas Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

This doesn’t get old.<\/p>\n

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!<\/p>\n
