I have a three and a half day weekend to look forward to. How the heck did THAT happen?
Looking at it one way that really does make it the most wonderful time of the year, despite the fact that we're heading into the second Covid Christmas in two years. I have to work a half day Friday and then have Monday off as the “holiday”. That means 84 hours away from things, and with an added bonus—I have finished all the baking, wrapping, and other assorted holiday stuff I was whining about last week.
I have a three (and a half) day weekend with no responsibilities. That might be the best gift I receive all year.
Seriously; everything that needed to be done for the season is done. Tomorrow I just have to have a little get-together with my brother and his family, and Loraine and I have to carry on a Christmas Eve tradition (more on that below). Then I have to make Greek food for Christmas Day dinner. Other than that? Every other holiday thing I need to do is done.
Now, that's not to say I'll be bored on Sunday and Monday. No...that's the farthest thing from the truth, especially with a Kaufman show coming up and all kinds of video that needs to get edited. But instead of trying to rush through it in a typical 48-hour weekend, I can now celebrate the holidays AND do some History Jim work before Radio Jim has to pop his head out of the snow.
That's kind of cool.
So there won't be another one of these until Tuesday. I hope that wherever and whenever you're reading this that your holiday weekend goes (or went) well. And stay safe—I have the feeling the Omicron variant might be this year's must have gift.
I just don't want you to get it.

Here's the story of what Loraine and I do every single Christmas Eve. Just substitute “quiet Covid Christmas Eve” for “Koski family Christmas Eve Celebration of Noise” and you're all set.
