As much as I love the holidays, I also look forward to the peace that occurs once they’re over. I usually save enough vacation days to take off the days between Christmas and New Year’s. I don’t do much that week, mostly sleep-in, take my dog for long walks (provided it’s not too bone-chillingly cold) and read a book or two. Most of the time I stick to reading fiction, but the next book on my reading list is Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Barbara Kingsolver is hands-down my favorite author and I figure if anyone can keep me interested in a novel about eating only locally-grown food for a year, it’s her.
How about you? What do you do on the days between December 25 and December 31?
