Hehe, I'm not sure was that addressed to me, but yes! December was crazy at work (as usual) but after that we had 8 days of break including the 2 holidays, so it became kind of vacation :D
I used the time to meet with relatives, friends, colleagues, travel a little bit and it really was fun time. For long I hadn't had a chance to really relax ... I dont know how to explain but have you had some break where you thoughts are still at work and the busy daily life, so no real relax? So this period was really about throwing all the worries and burdens and just have fun :D
