[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 267467, member: 9789"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]When I was working at UPS my favorite holiday of the year was Thanksgiving. (For me) It has always been a holiday without a lot of stress. Family getting together - eating great food and watching football! Oh! I almost forgot...4 days off in a row! How great is that... coming up on the most stressful time of the year (for UPSers). On Xmas, we are all dead to the world and it is so hard to enjoy what the real season is about. This is a wonderful time of the year to reflect on everything we have. Here are some thoughts that were shared with me and I would like to share with you!
