Bring on the holidays!

I am done! Done, done, done! I taught my last day of lessons today -- capping it off with a very well-done book recital by one of my students -- and am now officially on vacation until January 4th.

Of course, this refers to my teaching duties, not writing or cantoring (especially not cantoring, with Christmas in a week.) I love teaching, and wouldn't give it up for anything, but I also really enjoy my little vacations, or in this case, bigger vacations.

The best part is...the kids still have school through next Wednesday! Followed closely by the knowledge that my next deadline isn't for a week and a half. I'm giddy with anticipation of the free time.

I plan to thoroughly enjoy the next several days of preparation for Christmas. I'm not in a panic at all, and plan to keep it that way. A little wrapping, a little baking, and fortunately, no shopping, since I'm done with that, too.

Ahhhh. I don't remember feeling like this, a week before Christmas, in a long, long time.
