My work for 2015 is finished, and I'm taking off the rest of the year to celebrate Christmas and recharge for what promises to be a frenetic 2016. My print columns will continue to run in my absence, and you can find those here .

I'll be back on Monday, Jan. 4. Until then, I wish you and yours a merry Christmas and a prosperous start to the new year!
