This afternoon I officially begin my holiday vacation, which consists of driving to Omaha until Saturday then returning to the Cities and continuing on to Green Bay for my first-ever Packer game at Lambeau field (cue music).
While my time at home will be relatively low-key, I am determined to maintain a healthy distance from online and social media. Blogs, Twitter and Facebook are a part of my everyday routine, but I don’t want to lose or miss out on the magic of family during the holiday season: playing board games, watching mom struggle with the Wii 
and enjoying movies.
That’s why I am braving a potential blizzard to drive six hours through Iowa. I’m not driving home to jump on Twitter or blog about my Christmas, recent news or any other daily ramblings I may have.
I don’t pledge a full black-out from social media, but my posts will be more scarce, tweets more infrequent. Have a wonderful holiday, and make sure to enjoy quality time with those you are with.
We’ll talk next week!
