I remember as a kid, the week after Christmas was always a massive let down. I had the new toys, but the anticipation of Christmas was gone. In the back of my mind, I knew school would be back the next week. The decorations came down, and everything just kind of felt anticlimactic. (I wasn't exactly an optimist even as a kid).
This year, the holidays were completely different. The last 4-5 days may have been my favorite all year. We've sat at home and played with the kids. My interaction with anyone outside of my immediate family has been limited. Basically, we've relaxed. The week before Christmas was busy with preparations for our Christmas party as well as the Christmas Eve Service. This week, we've caught up around the house, but done so without feeling like we were working on our "days off." I've kind of accepted some of the frustrations with work that I realize are outside of my power to change, and I've still got one more day to enjoy.
Happy New Year.
