today is the first day everything feels back to normal. Everyone's properly back at the office today, no one else's work to cover because they're off on hols, the office manager took the deccies down yesterday evening and the fridge is no longer full with have eaten cakes and boxes of chocolates. No one seems to have had any major trauma here, no complete dramatics or meltdown - at least that they're willing to share at the team meeting this morning :-o

How do I feel? Relief.

How about everyone else? 

very good summation of "the holiday season" BB

 i was able to avoid the whole mess this year, partly because of my job (sick people need to be taken care of 365 days) and partly choice...all my family is 3000 miles away and i decided to leave "those" boxes in the loft until a time when i can share them with the friends and family i love.

back to the OP...i'm feeling normal...not broke, stuffed, hungover or disappointed.

i still hope for peace on earth, joy to the world and goodwill to all people !!!!
