Nobody loves winter break more than teachers. It’s a much-needed pause where you turn your alarm off, watch everything that you haven’t been able to stay up late enough to see, sit down for lunch, and use the bathroom whenever you want to! And while all we want for Christmas is a long winter’s nap, we are sending our teacher friends these honest holiday cards first.
