"I’m looking forward to sleeping in and not having to go out in the cold at 8 AM. It’s the little things in life!" -Madeline DeVeney
"I love spending the holiday shutdown with my family. We like to bake, play games, and watch movies. It is just nice to see everyone and not feel rushed or like we have other things to do!" -Angel Shafer
"I can’t wait to sleep until I wake up, hopefully play in some snow with my kids, drink coffee, ride the bus downtown to watch a movie in the middle of the day, and SO much more!" -Denise Packard
"This break we don’t have any travel, so I’m especially looking forward to a slower pace and quality time with family!" -Kate Stephenson
"Well this will be my first time experiencing the holiday shutdown as last year I was on maternity leave still (I think). I look forward to baking, lots of baking! I will have my fake fireplace running and my fuzzy socks on and I’ll be in my kitchen most of the day baking and listening to Christmas music. My oldest daughter will be out of school during this time as well. So I am looking forward to spending lots of quality time with both of my girls! My oldest loves to bake and listen to Christmas music, so we will have fun doing that together. I usually miss my youngest daughter's “active” time due to being at work. So I am really looking forward to getting to spend all day with her and get to play with her as I wait for things to bake!" -Halea Pacula
