I love working Christmas Eve! \o/

Seriously! Everyone's in a good mood. Staff bring in enough food to put everyone working into a diabetic coma by afternoon. Visitors are happy and laid back, and generally a little slow to to show up first thing in the morning, so we have time to socialize with each other a bit. And we all like each other, so it's particularly nice. Today I'm in costume on the ships. We entertained ourselves for the first hour of the day, sitting on the pier, drinking hot chocolate, and taking turns reading aloud (some more dramatically than others) from Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

This evening after work, I'll make a mad dash to the southwestern corner of the state to my mother's, and hope that I beat the ice storm that's on its way. But at this moment, I'm perfectly happy right where I am.

Happy Christmas everyone! :)
