I so enjoy the days following Christmas! There is no more anticipation, anxiety, plenty of leftovers, and an abundance of toys to keep the children busy during their vacation. I do not have to worry about the early morning rush to school; and since the kids are home busy with their Christmas gifts - they don't pester me about boredom. Everyone is content and that means more time for me to relax and do what I want.
However, the only little problem I have about the Christmas break for the kids is the vacation homework! Whatever happened to our days of Christmas vacation where not only did we have two weeks off, but there was no homework packet? Now the kids have only one week off and a homework packet that can lasts for two weeks. There goes my relaxation...
I am just elated that the kids completed their homework packet by Christmas Eve! And of course their new tablets and X-box games and a whole bunch of toys their grandparents gave them - keeps them quite busy and quiet. (I also made sure their tablets were downloaded with a Math app and has an e-reader in which I loaded with required reading books. :) )
Therefore they have until the day after New Years for FREE time. And now I can enjoy my Coquito...
As Always - Happy Holidays and Be Safe!!
