The next time you feel as if you’re losing your footing, try “hill-falling”

Christmas carols are playing everywhere you go. 

Traffic is a nightmare. 

The kiddos are more excited than usual.

Thanks to all those amazing DHL colleagues singing today and you can count on me, if you ever need me to return the favor!
