She made sure Kafka was festive. Norcal was usual pleasant holiday: food, board games, family, friends...
... and lovers - in a dangerous spacetime, that is. I brought the PS4, so we got a little co-op gaming in.

Kept it pretty low key. Went to Ryan's to play some board games and hang out in their delivery hot tub.
