Not EVERYONE's holiday is crazy. Those are the quietest and most relaxing times around here. I'm off work for several days in a row and dh is home more. I'm always amazed when someone says "you should never" or "I never do this or that", isn't every situation and every family just a bit different?
To the OP, good luck whatever you decide.
BTW, Bernie's from a yorkie RESCUE, not a breeder, and we picked him up and brought him home on New Years eve.
