Did you survive the holidays ok? Did you get a chance to spend it with friends and family? My holiday felt like a blur. Because the holidays fell on Saturday and Sunday, I had to work on those Mondays where most everyone else took the extra day off. Then I took a couple of days off through the week to make up for it. That’s never good. Then you’re two days behind on regular work things. It’s almost not worth it taking the two days off (although I did sleep til noon one of those days!). Christmas and New Years seem to fly by every year; we spent a couple of days putting up the tree and one afternoon taking it down. My wife and I seem to put out fewer and fewer Christmas decorations every year. Because then you have to go around and clean them all up after the holiday is done. I know people that keep up lights and decorations through February. I say this all the time…but take some time, slow down and enjoy what is really important to you during the holidays.
