Hey guys!

I'm in New York! Jam and I are currently hanging out in his hometown village of Penn Yan and man is it culture shock for me. The city (Manhattan) is only six hours away but there's still a huge difference between both environments but I love it. The pizza is great, the population is significantly smaller, and the houses are dainty.

The cities here are all weaved in between lakes known as the Finger Lakes and it's absolutely beautiful. I would love to see the lakes once the weather gets warmer. Hopefully that can be a vacation in the planning (hint hint to Jam).
Anyhow, I hope everyone is having an amazing holiday! Christmas is only four days away and I still think I'm unprepared but I'm trying my best. It's time to get in the holiday spirit, smell the pine, and spread the cheer and joy!
xox.
