I can relate to that, Dave. Generally there is a more relaxed atmosphere. Of course it’s dependent on many factors. With some industries, it’s quite the opposite and retail can be a nightmare at this time of year. Just getting an easy, relaxed holiday season can be the best gift when you’ve worked your butt off the rest of the year.

Normally I love the Christmas season, but this year the added stress and time requirements at work are making things less than enjoyable. I haven’t had the time to do the things I would traditionally do. We don’t get crazy with gifts, but we do get crazy with food! We have traditions that we’ve been trying to uphold, but increasing time pressures are making it nearly impossible. I don’t care if I don’t get a single gift. The best gift for me is the time to enjoy the holiday season.

I agree with you. I’m not a huge fan of Christmas as a holiday, but I always seem to make progress on my projects in the month of December. There also seems to be an overall relaxed feel in my business and among my contacts that makes December feel relaxed. Thankfully I’m not in retail! It just feels like a relaxed month… as long as I avoid the stores that is.
