At this time of the year, just after Thanksgiving, I always wonder if we ought to just go ahead and start our Christmas break early - like RIGHT NOW.We did that a few years ago. I was very organized and after having started school in mid-August, we had more than a month off at Christmas, which included Thanksgiving. This was great in a lot of ways - it helped with the Christmas shopping and baking, and of course we all enjoyed the extra time off. But I also found that it was that much harded to get back on task in January.
This year, I'm tempted to do it again. I've been sick for a week and 1/2 and I just NOW started antibiotics, so it will be awhile before I'm fully recovered. Add to that, I have to fly out west over next weekend (if I'm better, of course). And this comes just weeks before Christmas, and I haven't so much as begun any semblance of Christmas shopping or even planning.
Yet, we didn't start in mid-August, and none of us ever wants to continue school after the end of May. Either we pay now or we pay later.
Besides, will they remember how to do Algebra in January if we stop now?
Probably not, but oh, the temptation!
