Twas just days before Christmas,
And all through the house…
Lots of creatures were stirring…
Maybe even a mouse?!

It’s hard to believe it’s almost Christmas. It’s also hard to believe how much there is to celebrate, observe, and remember today, “on this day,” a week before the big holiday.

December 18th is a pop culture goldmine, filled with birthdays and milestones across the spectrums of Creativity, History, and Masculinity.

Actors like Brad Pitt, whose charisma has defined decades of film. Artists like Paul Klee, whose colorful works continue to inspire generations. Filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, a storyteller who’s shaped the way we dream on screen. And countless other people and moments that deserve a moment of reflection as we soak up the season’s spirit.

But with so much to do—last-minute gifts, holiday prep, and trying to keep up with everything—I’m keeping this post short but sweet.

In the spirit of celebration, I posted a new montage early this morning I hope you enjoy.

PJ and Thomas
McKay have been active on Instagram for years, sharing feel-good photos from their 14+ years of living, loving, and working together. Inspired, I reached out to ask if I could create a video using some of their moments. Thankfully, the gents graciously said yes!

Let’s take a moment to raise a glass (or a hot chocolate) to the incredible people and moments that make “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” worth celebrating.

“Joy To The World” and “Peace On Earth” to you and yours!
Clint
