Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. And wish you all the best for the new year!
Let's get started with a 'knock-knock' joke:

Raise your glass to the new year! Woo hoo!

Over Christmas break, we spent 6 days in an all-inclusive resort in Cancun, Mexico.
Honestly, the beach next to the resort was meh – but the resort itself was really good.
Lots of food, many pools and unlimited drinks. I mean, come on!

We also met my uncle - my dad's brother - and his family. We saw them after almost 5 years so it was fun to catch up and just hang out.

The resort had many different options for food - from a buffet to a cafe bar and many restaurants.
For dinner we went to a few restaurants in the resort. We had a variety of cuisines to choose from – Yucatan (the local area), Italian, Japanese etc.
And they were all good.
Interestingly, we didn’t eat a lot of Mexican food :)

We went to visit the Chichen Itza – an ancient Mayan city about 3 hours by road from Cancun.
The complex had a sports arena where the ancients played challenging sports. And can you believe that the winner was sacrificed? 
That just sounds like a good reason not to be good at something.

On the way back, we stopped by a cenote.  A cenote is a natural sink-hole – a natural pool. It was beautiful!
We also spent a couple of hours in a town called Villadolid. The town was very lively and we got to see some traditional dances there. One of the dances was impressive where the dancers put a glass bottle on their forehead during the dance.
That was a long day but it was a lot of fun to visit one of the 7 wonders and learn about Mayan history.

We also did yoga on the beach and biked around the resort.

On the last day, we went on another excursion. To be honest, I was a little nervous about this but I am really glad I did it.
We swam in a cenote – actually in an underground cave. That was a first for me!
It was so pretty! We got to float through a cave where the water was more than 150 ft deep!
And then it got even more fun – we went snorkeling! I got to see some cool fish up close, really close.
I had a great time doing things I hadn’t done before.
Cancun is a fun place – with a lot of options. Of course, you can spend the entire day at the resort but there’s a lot of things to do outside.
What has branches but no fruits, trunk or leaves?
Answer: The government – because it has 3 branches – executive, legislative and judicial.

Here's some more jokes!
Where can you find comedians on NYE?
Waiting on the punch line!
An iPhone and a firework were arrested on NYE. One was charged and the other was left off.
