I started a new job a little less than 5 months ago and it feels like I've been working on our holiday card the entire time. While I have probably only worked on it seriously the past month, talk of the card has been going on for ages. One of the most important criteria is to make it holiday neutral, respectful of all cultures and religions.
After many iterations of the card and careful cropping of photos for the calendars, we have our final concepts. I excitedly received our holiday calendars during our work party Friday and look forward to finishing up our e-card this week.
In the process of getting everything approved and in light of the time of year, my co-workers and I have been sharing our family traditions. Everyone has a different way of celebrating the holidays but I feel extremely lucky when I talk about all of the time I am able to spend with my family. Most co-workers were shocked that I had such large gatherings (even more shocked by my abundance of first cousins), and thought that my family had it all figured out. I am so happy to be spending another year with my close knit family and hope that everyone has a great holiday.
