This I know for sure...

I cannot wait for Christmas to come this year.  Not that I'm looking forward to driving to work in the winter weather and the icy conditions, but I will have five, count them, five whole days off from work.

I'm definitely feeling the need for some down time. So in the words of the Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore...
"We've been good, but we can't last. Hurry Christmas, hurry fast...We can hardly stand the wait. Please Christmas, don't be late."
