I hope that everyone's having a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever it is that you do at this time of year. I love Christmas, really I do, but at the same time I'm reminded how much I miss being with my family, who live on the other side of the country. Most years work keeps me here over the holidays (hospitals don't close cause it's Christmas! ), and then I travel to see my family early in the New Year. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be employed, and I know that there's a lot of people out there that have things a LOT worse than I do, but I still feel this way at this time of year.

But anyway, I wish you all peace, health, and happiness for the holiday season.
