i'm just taking a break from cleaning my closet this morning. i have been more busy than EVER this holiday season, with nearly 40 custom charm orders. i mailed 5 packages yesterday and took a break last night to attend brandon's company christmas party. i noticed a difference between my 160+ person very corporate company party and theirs- whereas everything we do is labeled "holiday," they were running around wishing all a Merry Christmas. i know there has been controversy lately about being overly-generic or politically correct and losing the meaning behind the holiday; however, if i were someone who celebrated Hannukah and attended a Christmas party, I can't help but think I'd feel a little left out. But maybe that's the "HR" person in me that automatically considers everything from a broad perspective- "What would 160 different personalities think about this...?" Not an easy task, but was definitely an interesting field.
Now I relax for 4 more minutes before running to the bank, finishing cleaning my closet and working on another batch of custom necklace charms. I feel like I can finally sort of catch my breath, but have a super busy week ahead of me. I think I'm going to be sending people New Year's gifts this year, seriously! I'll be in Colorado this Christmas, along with Brandon, his sister and his parents. They arrive in the middle of next week, and I'm afraid I'll still be making jewelry well into next week so if I don't get a chance to update, wishing everyone a happy generic holiday and a merry season to one and all.
