 Av> for getting things sorted *weeks* before Christmas <-- this is very

 Av> I have 4 more days of work until I am on holiday and I'm ready for it. The

That all sounds good.  I hope you have a good Christmas and New Year.  I like this time of year, but at the same time, sometimes I feel like it can be busy if you have more than one family visit for the holiday.  And for me this year, there has been a little bit of family drama recently, so I'm not sure yet if that part of my family will be getting together for Christmas or not.  We got gifts for them, but may end up sending them in the mail if there's no get-together with them.  Also, some of my family decided years ago that they don't want to exchange gifts anymore, as they feel that often people give gifts that people don't really need and end up unused, and just spending time with loved ones is more important.  And they may or may not plan to get together too; I never know these days.
