The high holidays were always prepared for far in advance by my family.

The high holidays are the biggest time of the year. You're with your entire community people who don't necessarily come to Shabbat services come for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. My mom always said it was nice to have something new for a fresh start to the year.

I'm retired, so working on holidays really doesn't bother me. My family and I celebrated Christmas early this year, on Friday. It might be difficult for some people, but my family is accommodating, so it works for us.

They were our family away from Alabama. We spent all our holidays together and celebrations of our kids.

A lot of people try to stick it out through the holidays. They don?t want to disrupt the family at that time. It?s not unusual that come January you start to see a lot of filings.
