here's to

here's to christmas and new year,

to half-days and holidays that i get to enjoy,

to strong friendships and fleeting acquaintances – both of which have made my day,

to miracles, big and small, that have shown me a new way of looking at life,

to having lived the single life (i mean, with my own apartment and all) for about 11 months so far,

to another alcohol-less new year welcome,

to another year, with all its joys.

cheers!
