Christmas and new years is goign to be tough, I'm away from all of my family and I'm working over all holidays except New Years day...
However, I look at this way.
If I am working, that is one less person who CAN stay with their family that has to work
I know it'll come back to me in the end... and Jan 1st I am driving up to Canada (only 15 hr drive

) to see my wife so we can have a belated christmas and new years
I hope that this year (along with every year of course!) that people cherish their time with families and let them know you care, as many families do not have that same ability this year...
Happy holidays and a wonderful New Year to all
