Where does December rank on the busy scale?

dougw

Is December crunch time for you, trying to wrap up the year's activities?

Is December an opportunity to hone your hibernation skills?

Do you taper down in December and take a break?

Do you use the break to launch your own projects?

Does December start out frenetic and end up a party?

Is December for family and projects go on hold?

Do you buy into the whole commercial hype thing, dress up the house and splurge on gifts? Or do you mount a Grinch-worthy protest?

Do you shift out of active mode and just binge watch Star Wars and the Big Bang?

I seem to wind up with a lot of work to do, both  at work and on the home front, and of course lots of family activities, although we have backed off  a bit (imperceptibly?) on the commercial aspects. I do plan to get some reading in - of real books.

    December can run from full on crazy to even slightly chill.  This year is running in the direction of crazy.  We do not do much in the way of parties or socializing, but we do tend to have a lot of projects in the works (volunteer work, gardening, and I have a few electronics projects and a roadtest to complete).  For the past few Decembers, our daughter spent most of the month with us, so we would keep very busy keeping up with her and her little dog.  This year she has decided to stay at home as she just purchased her first home and is living in the Portland area.  This has kind of lowered the spirit level in our home, but we still have our son, daughter-in-law and grandkids here to keep us busy.

    This year (and the past couple of years) have had health issues to deal with along with all the challenges and craziness that seems to be going on in the world, but I hope that we and all our fellow community members find peace, health and joy in these holiday seasons and in the new year.

    Element14 is a sane and pleasant place in contrast to a lot of what is going on in the world.
