Jen and Candace graciously suggested that we put down our computers and step away from our blogs, twitter and other internet related distractions on a guilt free basis this holiday season. I am going to be away from my computer from December 23 through January 2nd. I have a few things that I am working on that I might be able to schedule to post in my absence like, my review for Among the Thugs, by Bill Buford which is due by the end of this year for the Newsweek Project. But if I don’t make it then it will be the first review that I post in the new year.
I have to also check the challenges that I plan on joining to see what the deadlines are for sign up. I’ll either get those up if there are any that are due by the 1st or maybe just have one less challenge to complete.
I hope every one has a very Merry/Happy Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwanzaa or just enjoys the extra time off to spend with family and friends. Have a happy New Year and I will see you in 2010.
Do you plan to unplug for the holidays?
You’ll step away from your computer except for next Tuesday’s That’s How I Blog, you mean!

Enjoy your time unplugged! I would have been completely unplugged recently, but the winter weather hit and I was forced inside. I liked it, though, because it gave me time to get caught up on some reviews. Here’s to next year! It’s going to be great!

I’ve been as unplugged as I could possibly be for the holiday season. I’m still out and about some but not as much as I usually am. I have been able to read a bit, not as much as I would like but still getting some in.
Hope you are enjoying your time away! Happy holidays.
