Yes, it’s that week in between two holidays. And major holidays at that–Christmas and New Year. Who thought this was a good idea?

How much really gets done during those days? Did you ever wonder? I mean, this year, Christmas was on a Sunday, so for a lot of places Monday was a day off. If you were flying somewhere for the holidays, you are stressed to the max. Especially if the airlines were delayed and you’re stuck at the airport overnight. Not a good way to spend Christmas with family.

Then Tuesday comes around and everyone drags back to work, assuming you made it home on time. Not a lot of work gets done, as everyone is talking about their holiday and trying to get back in the swing.

But wait! New Year’s Eve is Saturday night, with New Year’s Day on Sunday! You have to have some sort of celebration to bring in the new year. Right?

So Friday, you have to go out and get snacks, drinks, and whatever else you have for New Year’s Eve. And you stay up until the clock strikes midnight marking the end of one year and the beginning of the next.

Of course, on Sunday there are the bowl games. And a lot of people like to watch the Rose Bowl Parade. More snacks and drinks. One more late night. I mean, with Monday being a holiday again, why not stay up and watch movies?

And once again, the first week of work is going to be slow as everyone tries to throw off the excesses of the holiday season.

Come on. Maybe we should just take the whole week off and call it done. I’m sure everyone out there could use a vacation anyway. And the way the weather has been, it would be a lot more relaxing for all concerned.

I know. It’ll never happen. But a girl can hope. Right?
