Working in a rural buisness that has its buisiest time approaching around
x-mass never left anytime for family and friends this time of year .
In fact I sought of looked at that small break as sometimes an
intrusion into getting things done.. sure I spent time with the family x-mass day and sometimes boxing day but it was just a brief break with chaos lined up before and after .
This year I changed jobs and for the first time in 14 years am able to spend time with my family without the hassle of
having to think about work anytime soon .. everyones gone home and the workplace is locked up for weeks

It seems a little strange in a way .. a bunch of friends around to dinner tommorow ( never this time of year)
and I don't have to think about other stuff happening monday
