Thank you for the happy holiday season thoughts! Iā€™m retired now but in my working days Iā€™d always take a two-week break over the Christmas holidays. Yes, the start of that Christmas break is always a joyous occasion. Iā€™d usually kick it off by watching _National Lampoonā€™s Christmas Vacation_, which set just the right tone! šŸŽ„ ---

Iā€™m curious about anyoneā€™s new holiday plans. My nephews were going to teach me how to play pickleball so Iā€™m excited about that! ---

I just wrapped up a marathon of work in 2024, and am ā€˜braindumpingā€™ everything to start 2025 fresh. I hope every Doper has an opportunity to take a break, and spend some time with family and friends (including here!). Happy Holidays, Dopers!
