And since I follow, sorta, the federal schedule I do too – double huzzah!! From The White House:

“Executive Order on Providing for the Closing of Executive Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government on December 24, 2019

All executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on Tuesday, December 24, 2019, the day before Christmas Day.”

So anyone have fun travel plans? When do you leave?

Trees and Greenery should be placed in front of residents’ homes or taken to the drop off locations where they will be composted and made available to residents at no charge. Please remove all ornaments and lights and do not place trees and greenery in bags. (more…)
