The holidays have arrived in my office! As weird as it feels to go all-out for Christmas when we have such a multicultural and multi-faith campus and department, I have to confess that festive decorations improve my mood astronomically. This year I brought in mini light strands and some cute standees from the dollar store and spiced up our transaction tops. I also finally turned my candy dish around so "'Tis The Season" is visible again! 

Starting next week, we (the office admin team) have a busy schedule full of holiday socials and luncheons - a faculty social, a union social, an office admin staff lunch courtesy of one of the profs in our department, a lunch for all support staff in our department courtesy of the department chair, a department potluck. I'm excited for free food! Truly that's the best part of the season.

I'm also going home for Christmas this year. I haven't been home for a holiday in over 8 years, and I'm weirdly anxious about it. This will be the first holiday trying to juggle time spent with my separated parents, and I also have friends and extended family to see as well. I genuinely cannot believe how expensive flights are! It's costing me $320 one way, for the one-hour flight back to the island. Horrible! But I'm really looking forward to it all the same. 

Any friends with holiday or just plain December plans?

Will be spending christmas with my family for the first time since 2019, which will also be weird, I've almost got used to being alone on Christmas and just watching Gayo and be left alone... but at least it'll just be my parents and my brother!
