Christmas always seems to sneak up on us. This year I feel like it just totally blindsided me. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve? How did that happen? I guess this means I’m getting older. It used to feel like Christmas took sooooooooo looooong to get here when I was little. Unfortunately those days are long gone!
I feel like the last few weeks I’ve been hearing people tell me all these nice things they’ve done for people. It really, truly makes me happy.
I didn’t do anything extraordinarily nice today. I’ve taken a few days off next week to extend Christmas as long as possible, so today at work I got as much done (almost everything) as possible. I did this so I didn’t have to leave it for someone else. Everyone already has enough on their plates, they don’t need my stuff!
In some ways I love being like this. I love knowing I can take care of my own stuff, my own responsibilities – and pitch in when help is needed. However, I know I need to let people help me every now and then too. I have a hard time admitting I need or could use a little help. I guess I need to get over that – that’s why we work on teams.
Anyway, I feel good about my productive day, because you know what? That means I am currently on vacation for a few days. 
Merry Christmas to me! (and to you too!)
