Not too much, but some. If you are a Christian, have a good Christmas. If you are helping a loved one celebrate Christmas, I hope you enjoy it. If you are mostly compelled to take the day off because your workplace is closed, I hope you enjoy the day off, take it easy, try not to get cabin fever just because everything is closed.\n<P>If you don&#8217;t celebrate Christmas and instead of taking the day off when your work is shut you are volunteering at a hospital or hospice, or are otherwise making yourself useful on a day when otherwise people would either feel they had missed an important family celebration&#8212;or other people would do without comfort and company on a day when they would feel particularly sad and abandoned, then my hat is off to you.\n<p>Your Humble Blogger is in the <i>helping a loved one<\/i> camp. It&#8217;s a good camp to be in; there&#8217;s good food and decorations and a great big ham for dinner.
