The slow pace of the holidays.

It probably sounds a little strange putting it that way but when you consider the crazy pace of work I usually experience. Pace, in this case, would not only be referring to the speed or length of the typical workday but also the consistency of continuous work/lack of breaks. Thus, I am quite appreciative of a Christmas break that is actually just that... a break. My suggestion to my future self... always respect the value of a break. I tend to forget it all too often.
