The family is an odd unit of people. They live together, love each other, learn and fight together. Yet, they are what make us who we are. The influence we receive as a child growing up, turns us into the people we one day become. Family is a wonderful, yet quirky thing.

Don't you love the holidays? Good food, great times, and....well....your family. The one time of the year that we feel obligated to deal with those that we avoid the year long. Our family can be great fun, but they can also be great pains. I, personally, will enjoy my holiday in solitude, with a good book, and a long nap. Best wishes to you all, and a fun return to work!
