What Santa brought me for Christmas

As you may remember, a few weeks ago, the family and I took a trip to Orlando, so that was our big Christmas present. Santa only visited our kids this year. I really get it now when I hear people say that Christmas really is for kids. I think I was more excited than they were to watch them open gifts.

And last night, on Christmas Eve, we sprinkled Reindeer Food on the driveway, left milk and cookies for Santa and 9 baby carrots for each of the reindeer. My older son wanted to watch me do everything “so he could remember exactly what I did so when he had kids he could do the same thing.” That heartfelt sentiment beat any gift Santa could have brought me.

One gift I did receive from my parents was the book, “Phrases That Sell”. Some of them are real gems and I’ve already gone through some of the book with a pencil, checking off the ones I can see myself using for my client work or my own work. I was so excited to get that book. It’s funny how being an entrepreneur is not like having a job, but is a passion that transcends your workday hours.

I hope you all have had a joyful, rewarding holiday. And I hope everyone gets a little more time to relax between now and New Year’s Day. Did you receive any business-related presents? What were your faves?
