WOOHOO! This Monday is not like the other Mondays… we are Xmas Eve! I’m so excited because tonight, in fact, tomorrow morning ;-), my kids will open their gift and they will find… Disney World tickets! We are leaving on January 2nd for 10 days! I’m super excited!
I won’t be writing for the next week since you will probably celebrating with your family and I’ll do the same on my side. But you also might want to relax and read some good articles from time to time. This is why I thought of putting together The Best of The Dividend Guy for 2012. This year was very important for my blog as I’ve achieved several milestones:
