The work week between Christmas and New Year is a strange time of the year. It's not a holiday but it's not really a normal work week. School is out for most students from kindergarten through graduate school. Many people have the week off. This year even the President is in Hawaii. It's also very slow at work for those who have to work except maybe those in retail sales.
For me , I like the time because I get to rest up from all the activities leading up to Christmas and this year our son is home from graduate school. We get to watch a few video movies, a college bowl game on TV and take in a high school basketball game or two. I look froward to a quiet night on New Years Eve. Maybe an early movie (The new True Grit ?) and Chinese food by the fire in the living room. I will try to make it up for Dick Clark's countdown to midnight on TV with that Brian CORRECTION Ryan what ever his name is. New Years Day is FOOTBALL all day.... college bowl games with lots of chips and pop. This year after New Years Day the countdown to the BCS Bowl will add another week to the Holiday Season. Go Ducks !
