The kids will have their Christmas party today. Both are excited to spend time with their classmates. They also anticipate their exchange gifts.

Today is also the beginning of their two-week Christmas vacation. Since they are off from school activities, they are free to do whatever they want. They can watch DVD movies all they want. They can even stay up late.

My son has already planned the movies and TV programs he will watch. My daughter, on the other hand, will be busy sketching. She is now experimenting with applying colors to her drawings. I prefer that they are busy with indoor activities than spend time outside. I worry that they, especially my son, will get into trouble with other kids.

Vacation also spells trouble between my kids. They fight over minor things. You know what it is like to be in the middle of a crossfire. Kids.

I’ll try to have additional sleeping hours and ample time to accept opps during this period.
