Merry Christmas! The crew at the Art of Manliness will be taking the coming week off to spend time with family and reboot before the new year. So we won\u2019t be publishing anything new on the site until January. But for those of you who still need an AoM fix while we\u2019re away, we\u2019ve put together this recap of 2013 on the Art of Manliness.<\/p>\n

On the homefront, Kate and I welcomed our second child and first daughter: Olive Scout McKay. Scout has already brought a ton of joy into our lives.<\/p>\n
