Hey,

I hope you're having a great week and spending time with the people who matter most to you.​
 
Since this is the last email I'll be sending before Christmas... 

It's tradition for me to share this Early To Rise twist on a Holiday Classic:
 
“‘Twas 5 in the morning and all through the house… 
 
Only one creature was stirring… he was a bit of a grouch 
 
The coffee was brewed, his to-do list was made. 
 
But those early hours did on his sanity grate. 
 
His children were nestled all snug in their bed. 
 
He tried to workout and nearly fell dead. 
 
Then he sat in a lotus and started to breathe 
 
But in his long meditations he found no reprieve 
 
“Aha! That is it!” He said with a start 
 
A cold shower is what I need to jumpstart my heart. 
 
And so he continued his silly morning routine 
 
‘Till he looked at his watch and let out a scream. 
 
Oh no! He shouted his heart starting to race. 
 
10:30 all ready? I’ve no time left to waste. 
 
So he sat at his desk and he started to type... 
 
But got nothing done and then morning turned night”
 

Wishing you the very best now and in 2023!
 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,
