I’ve had years that I’ve traveled to other cities for Christmas and would take appointments.

However, over the years I’ve become less inclined to that, and prefer to just spend it with friends or family in a city I know. Mainly because I find it’s too much out the blue and last minute bookings and it can be a bit annoying. Like last week, I had (3) clients all trying to book me in the same time of day. I was only able to meet 1, the other 2 could only meet that one day, at that one time…and all were same day requests, which I’ve discussed before can be welcoming or irritating depending on the amount or lack of notice.

And then these past couple days: I’m getting everything from clients hitting me up who haven’t replied back in over a year or 2, to people contacting but having hardly any availability to meet because of this, and that and whatever other plans that has nothing to do with me.
 

Needless to say, I’m about to take my availability down for the remainder of the weekend. I just can’t be bothered with people’s bad planning and expecting me to contort all different ways to accommodate, when they couldn’t show the same courtesy or sense of urgency last time and the time before that 🤦🏾‍♂️

I hope though you don't tell your family you can't come to a family xmas function to take a client instead. I have worked places where I was able to get pretty much unlimited overtime at this time of year but I realized money is not the be all end all and it was important to have some downtime and make time for family.

I think that also assumes that someone is going to be having said functions going on. I know some people don’t really have much at all really planned during the holidays. I’ve known some single folks to spend the day doing projects or catching up on sleeping versus doing functions and stuff. Or they’ll only reserve the evening with family while keeping the day time available or something.

Well… us non-Christians need something to do! 🤷🏽‍♂️. So this Xmas I invited a boi over for Friday night (22nd), bar crawled and live music with a cousin on the 23rd, danced at Jewbilee (by Hebro)(Google it!!) on the 24th, and met a guy who happened to be Jewish on the 25th, then met a regular on the 26th. That was myyyy Christmas weekend. So much fuuuun. I’m glad I stayed local.
