Ho, Ho, Ho!!!

So, when I got back to the office the other day, this is what was waiting for me. Yep, that's right, I got a personal visit from Santa. I knew he was real!!! Ha - my big brothers tried to tell me Santa was a fake, but I always secretly believed and it all paid off on Friday! WOOHOO! Of course, he said he was coming by because he noticed that I had been very naughty this year, but I had to set him straight and tell him that his expectations were too high when he puts so many temptations in my path... I guess we will see if he agreed on Thursday.

I will be spending Christmas with the family. I always love seeing everyone open their gifts, especially the little ones. I stay over at my big brothers house and sleep in the living room by the Christmas tree, so I get to witness the first reactions to all the presents being under the tree. It's very awesome. Then we will open gifts, have great food and have some quality time.

A big o' congratulations to the Jones' who welcomed the newest edition to the family this morning. I'm happy to report that Mom, Dad and baby are doing great. Baby is gorgeous. Congrats guys!

I am greatly looking forward to my super long weekends both this one and next. I really need a break from work. The economy is hitting our office hard and it is increasingly difficult to remain positive and not freak out, but I'm working on it. Actually, I am going to ignore it until next year, since there's nothing to be done until then and do my best to enjoy the coming holidays.

I hope everyone has happy, fun and safe holidays. I look forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks.

Until next time -
