Pros and Cons

So, Christmas and New Year's Day were on weekends this year (and next):

Pros: Nice long weekends to spend with family, without spending a lot of extra time off (which is a premium for those of use who used all their time off on weddings earlier this year, as well as Thanksgiving).  For context, Stefano and I both have about two days off left over, which includes sick time as well as personal days off.

Cons:  No real weekends for two weeks.  We spent all of yesterday taking down Christmas decorations, cleaning the house, and stocking up on groceries.  Then it snowed (about four inches) today so we decided to be lazy and stay home and relax.  It was amazing.

Also, Molly still loves snow.  I have some awesome videos to put up once I stop being lazy and take care of uploading them.  I reserve the right to be lazy, though, since it's late and I have to work tomorrow.
