This year's holiday season is shaping up to be a great one. After a few years of generally coasting through the holidays (time constraints, lack of interest, etc.), I am looking forward to the next four weeks. Christmas and New Years is timed very well this year, allowing a mix of vacation and Computol holiday time off. Beginning this week through the middle of January, I will be working 2, 3, and 4-day work weeks. Thanks to this varied schedule, I will get lots of time to relax, travel, spend time with family, party, exercise, hike, and work on writing.
In other words, I am excited for Christmas for the first time in years.
This week sees a birthday to celebrate, several Christmas dinners in Toledo for local tech groups, and perhaps the most-anticipated event of the fall season: the Computol Christmas Party. Families, dinner, drinks, and gifts - this year's party should be a great time at Stella's in downtown Perrysburg. Friday cannot come soon enough.
Next weekend sees me gone for a three-day road trip across northern Ohio to visit friends in Akron and Sandusky. A viewing of The Hobbit is probably in store, a trip to Melt's is certain, and a surprise or two is very likely.
A week later will be the beginning of my Christmas vacation. Things kick off with a much-needed Reboot Weekend, one I intend to use exclusively for hiking and writing. That following Monday and Tuesday will be Christmas celebrations with my family and plenty of relaxation.
The final weekend in December sees me taking five days off work to celebrate the arrival of 2013 and - of course - a moment for me to reflect on all of 2012's accomplishments. This is going to be a great end to the year.
B3 out.
