(S5) - PT 2 - Holiday Cheer

[manicmav36]

Owen Taylor has a deal with his wife. His wife is from Atlanta, Taylor is not, so they rotate where they celebrate Christmas (on Christmas day) each year so that neither family feels left out. His wife’s family is great. They welcomed him with open arms and immediately made him feel like family, but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t hate traveling for Christmas. It’s always been his favorite time of the year, and currently residing in Baltimore, the possibility of a white Christmas is just too much to pass on; you’ll never have that opportunity in Atlanta! And don’t even bring up the sleeping arrangements. Being a grown ass man and sleeping on a twin sized air mattress with another human being is absolutely as terrible as it sounds. Not to mention the daily wake-up calls at 6 AM. It’s a vacation damnit, at least let the guy sleep past 7.

This year, though, is special. After welcoming his first child into the world this year, he’ll be making the trip not as a couple, not as husband and wife, but as a family. There are few things in this world Taylor wouldn’t do to make that tiny human happy, and although it will never remember this trip, just the slight possibility of making it’s world just a tiny bit happier is more than enough to hop on the plane and have the best damn Christmas ever.
