Knate will be taking a long winter’s break until after the New Year. We’re almost finished with our shopping (I got TOMS Shoes for the men and Le Sportsacs for the women), and ready for the two-day family lovefest that is Dec. 24 and 25. The playlist below is in honor of another year of life.
Enjoy the picture above of the Paste family looking…hip. Have a lovely holiday!
Until 2007,

I guess bringing up Dan Fogelberg’s “Same Old Auld Lang Syne” is pretty nerdy, but it’s what I am here for.
I’ll wear my mock-turtleneck and get teary-eyed at a Dan Fogelberg song any day…
If you’re not really in the celebratory mood, Slaid Cleaves “One Good Year” is appropriate, but quite a downer.
