What I learned this Christmas

Many lessons were learned over the past few days …

1. Always take your leave during Christmas, no matter what. Going to office during Christmas is like attending a funeral. Both are equally as quiet and gloomy, and the only ones present are mourning that they couldn’t be on leave as well. It is depressing. Avoid by all means.
2. No, you will not get a slice of pizza in the evening on 25th December, no matter how long you are willing to drive for it.
3. Christmas in America is everyone’s way of saying ‘Screw you guys, I’m going home‘ . Unless you can say the same thing, you end up being screwed by everyone else.
4. Christmas is the time you thank your stars for the one good friend who lives 150 miles away in the neighboring city, who *hasn’t* gone home for Christmas too, and who is equally excited to kill time with you. :)
5. If you can’t have a White Christmas, and are having a hard time having a Bright Christmas, it’s time to open that bottle of wine and have the Right Christmas ;) !
