Are we getting home for christmas?

Volunteered to work on xmas eve and xmas day which are both holidays here.
I'll make a weeks wage in two days.

 

every Christmas since I started driving.......ho ho ho, peepoles

 

I become a witch on wheels in December, I hold their feet to the fire everyday...that's the way I get my 15 days off every Christmas. Other holidays they know I either work thru them or I don't mind getting home time a little later, but December is huge for me, and so I get very very much holding them to hometime policy. Yep I got it worked out every year I get Dec 20th to Jan 4 off...lol. Like I say the other holidays of the year aren't as important to me, but don't mess with my Decembers/Christmas

 

I just got home for Xmas.
It seriously doesn't matter to me. It does matter if I'm expected to sit around, out of town, for 5 days around Xmas. And not get paid for it. I ain't no ministry.
I've worked Xmas before. I joke around with anyone who works the holidays. On Thanksgiving ya gotta wear a Turkey Costume. Xmas is a Santa Claus outfit. New Years... at midnight, strip down to a diaper and that's all.

 

Home for me is Northeast Georgia. I no longer drive anything today. It's a major battle for me to get there and have mobility. I will be spending some time helping the homeless and doing what I can here. Besides, I guess my real home is Virginia now.

 

I kill to be home on Xmas. That will never change, don't ask. My Pop, gawd rest his soul, was not so fortunate.

 

When I was still single and it was just me & the dog, it didn't really matter to me much where I was...so I'd usually volunteer to run so that those with families could be home with them. Now I have a wife & kid, and my place on any holiday is with them. Jobs are a dime a dozen, but I've only got one family.

 

Ha...home and relaxing, but New Year's I'll be sitting in some random California truck stop...lol

 

Judging by your selfie in your signature. Hard to believe you have difficulty doing anything?
You really do look great! Overly healthy!

 

I could be home if I wanted to be, but I chose to stay out on the road this Christmas. My husband is in another country and I don't have any family or friends in our area to celebrate with. So being home alone and not being with the ones I love would be depressing, so I begged my dispatcher to keep me out and rolling this year.
