Whooppeeeeee it’s the last day of school! Even though I am 27 years old, there are certain age-old traditions that I continue to enjoy due to working at an elementary school, such as:

1. school picture day
2. pep rallies
3. tornado and fire drills
4. snow days (!)
5. winter vacation!

That’s right kids – I won’t be back to this desk until January 5th. Two glorious weeks off and I never wanted nothing more.

I might blog, I might not. Don’t hold me to any standards.

I hope you all enjoy fabulous holidays filled with friends, family, and food. I will be splitting my time between Cincinnati and Indianapolis, and I know it will all go by way too fast. My plan is to try to enjoy each and every day and to not over-fill them with plans and projects (as is typical of holiday-Emily aka “HoHoHolcombe”).

I’ll leave you with my favorite quote from my favorite holiday song (which would have been my first dance song if I was having a winter wedding)…

“And I know the reason,
Each glowing candle shines,
No matter what the season,
It’s always Christmas-time,
Knowing that you’re mine…”
