Partly because I'm guaranteed to be busy (nothing brings out the 'love' in families like a good celebration, especially one that involves alcohol) and partly because we have a lot of fun at our work on holidays. Especially the big ones. I suppose it helps that I'm single and have no kids, but I actually request Thanksgiving/Christmas usually -Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15143981293665961660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537187955852240933.post-71171955423072654192012-05-15T17:52:30.186-05:002012-05-15T17:52:30.186-05:00That is so true, I've only been doing this for...That is so true, I've only been doing this for 3 or so years and already I can see myself not being in the "holiday" mood or treating everyday as though they were the same.

I remember the first time I worked on Thanksgiving, it was so hard. I knew that while my family was all celebrating, I was at work. By the time I got home and ate leftovers it was depressing. After a few years, it became a day like any other, same as Christmas.*Goddess*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03012831511206842735noreply@blogger.com
