Why I Love Christmas Break!
Posted by shelburns on December 29, 2008
Being a teacher has it’s perks. One of which is an extended Christmas holiday, which seems to upset most of my family, but hey, it’s the job I dreamed of, so get over it! So what if I don’t make the money you make? I make a difference in kids’ lives and I deserve some time off every once in a while! Anyway, I digress, and that is not what this post is about. Can you tell I have this conversation with my family alot?
The things I love about Christmas break, in no particular order:
-
Time to spend with my family
-
Sleeping in
-
Not having to get out of my PJs if I don’t want to
-
Doing what I want, when I want
-
Reading time
-
Blogging time
-
Renewal for my body and soul
-
The chance to see and spend time with friends
-
7 whole days w/hubby (Christmas and New Year’s holidays)
-
Lazy days
-
Shopping
-
Soap operas – I’m not addicted, but I do catch up!
-
Seeing excited kids at Christmas
-
Getting my house in order
-
Cooking
-
Baking
-
Giving to others
-
Christmas specials
-
The Best of tv specials
-
Time for me!

What I love, now that I’m not teaching, is knowing that the pajama-wearing, the lazy days and the reading just roll on and on and on…
