Uncle Sam taught me many valuable lessons b.c. (before children). One that's served me well is: everyday someone is working, even holidays. Regardless of the sentimental or traditional attachment to any given day, someone is always working.

And signing up for *Winter in Wonderland* I knew I'd be spending the holidays away from my kids and all of my loved ones. It's not been a cake walk for me or many of my coworkers. But Xanterra (my current employer) has been on point with providing us with activites (and subsequently camaraderie) to help us fill in the gaps that come with being far from home:
