Seventeen

After 17 years of working (and working hard) in retail over the holidays, I can't even process the fact that I have 17 days off over Christmas this year. Today is my first official day off, and we go back to work on January 2. I'm beyond grateful for my new job.

Here's the Christmas tree at our house this year.

  11. Wow! What a nice tree! I feel the same way you do about working in education. Every time I get frustrated I think, "Well, remember that work schedule!"
