Airhead10, thanks very much for thinking of us. I just finished a 5-day stretch of work, so your post was especially nice to read.
I'll just add my thanks to all the good people with whom I worked and/or encountered during these past several days. Everyone seemed to have a pleasant sort of holiday spirit, whether it was other airline personnel, hotel staff, our passengers, or people in our layover cities. They made being away from our loved ones at this time of year more bearable, so hats off to them too.
