December Ed's Note
8:00 AM
The holidays tend to make me feel restless. My inner WASP kicks in (though I'm technically only one of those things), and I'm hit with a major sense of guilt over both the slowing down of work and the over-the-top materialism of the holidays.
In times like these, I'm wishing and praying that I could simply hop on a plane — change the landscape and my perspective in a matter of hours.

I love family time and I'd love to have more of it. Something about it is so precious and comfortable, particularly during the holidays. Even if your siblings irritate the stew out of you, your time spent together is a gift that needs no wrapping and hopefully no returns.
But sometimes you owe it to yourself to skip town — whether for a few days or even just a few hours. While away, you can pretend to be someone else, or just a better dressed, chiller version of you. Honestly, we all like Vacation-you better.
