We’re now officially less than 25 Monday’s away – Is NJ ready?

Scratch that - we're now well under 25 Mondays at this point. Not much longer before we get to celebrate once again (Not just for one occasion, but multiple).

It's all about those special days that we all look forward to, where every year we have to start that countdown.

No, not just Christmas or New Year's, but also days like Thanksgiving & Halloween. Or, perhaps those countdowns are for something special like an anniversary or birthday.

Some days are personally specific to you, whereas others are more universal. And depending on how you feel about them, you might either get excited or frustrated. Let's look at Christmas, for example.

How many out there dread the approach of the big day? Not just because it brings cold weather and shorter days, but also because of how much money we lose preparing for the holidays.

Dinners, presents, travel, and more, every one of those expenses adds up. And for those who host every year, the pressures can be enormous. Well OK, maybe that's exaggerated a bit, but you get the point. Not every countdown is something we like to celebrate.

Staying on the Christmas topic, there are also many who absolutely love counting down to the big day. Again, it's all based on how you feel about a particular day or event. Some are worth celebrating, while others aren't.

But it's not just the 25 days of Christmas we're talking about here. Now that we're officially into 2025, there's another countdown we can officially take part in that also involves 25 days. Or should I say, 25 Mondays.

And it's not just one event, but multiple, with two big ones in particular.
