As much as I love the holidays, I also look forward to the peace that occurs once they’re over. I usually save enough vacation days to take off the days between Christmas and New Year’s. I don’t do much that week, mostly sleep-in, take my dog for long walks (provided it’s not too bone-chillingly cold) and read a book or two. Most of the time I stick to reading fiction, but the next book on my reading list is Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Barbara Kingsolver is hands-down my favorite author and I figure if anyone can keep me interested in a novel about eating only locally-grown food for a year, it’s her.

How about you? What do you do on the days between December 25 and December 31?

I am a mother of 3 and our kids ages are 9, nearly 5, and just turned 2 (4 days before Christmas). I spent the week between the 25th-31st recouping from the festivities of the previous 3 months. It's one big, crazy party once school starts - with an anniversary, 3 birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, classroom parties (I am the homeroom mom for our son's class) and having moved to our current home about 2 1/2 months ago. I'm taking this week to finally get caught up on the left overs of our recent move and for once taking some time for myself - start on a, hopefully, good book and get back to journaling, while doing some more experimenting in the kitchen. Happy New Year!
