This Holiday Season: No Gifts. No Blogging. No Listening To Whiners.

This is how DC sports owner Ted Leonsis is spending his holiday. And it doesn't include you. (Well, maybe).

It is the holidays. My family is back together.

Time to reflect. Time to volunteer. Time to give back. Time to vacation.

Time to clear one’s mind. Time to heal.I am going dark until the New Year. I am unplugging from you all.

No blogging.

No answering anyone’s emails at Washcaps or the TheWashwiz accounts.

If you have any venting or any requests or appeals or insults or immediate asks, they will have to be dealt with by somebody else for a week or so. :-)

Try to enjoy life this holiday season. You can do it.

My family isn’t exchanging gifts this holiday season. We have all that we need. We are supporting two charities instead with help and with monies. So many people and organizations need help - real help - and have real needs. Sometimes I lose sight of that by reading so many emails from the same people with the same issues over and over again. :-)

So it is time to chill. Time to reflect. Time to have some family fun. Time to give back. Time to show gratitude. Time for some privacy.

Happy holidays everyone.

Happy holidays, Ted. Here's to a winning New Year.
