Thoughts on the holiday season

There are things I like about the holiday season and things I don't like. I thought I'd make a little list!

I really like that I get time off.

I don't like shopping ever, and I like shopping even less when there are billions of other people cramming into tiny stores in the mall.

I like all of the yummy food.

I don't like that there is a ridiculous, wasteful, gluttonous amount of food.

I like the 'christmas' oranges.

I don't like the cold weather.

I like seeing family at all of our gatherings.

I don't like having to juggle family gathering schedules.

I like the christmas tree lights and cinnamin candles.

I don't like that it's dark for more than 12 hours every day.

I like that I have time off.

I don't like that my break has to end.

I'm sure if I sat and thought about it more, I could think of more things that I like and maybe a few more that I don't like. Regardless, I intend to make the most of my time off and enjoy my family and my time off.

Did I mention that I like the time off I get at Christmas?!
