Working in Radio, especially for a Top 40 station, usually means you work when everyone else wants to be out and about. Many times, this means the secondary holidays.
One thing you learn very quickly when you become a father is that almost everything doesn't go exactly as planned. It's how you react when things go off plan that makes the difference.
Holidays take on a meaning once you have kids. Christmas seems to be the one most dads notice goes to the wayside for your kids -- and we're more than happy to let it.
But, for me, that wasn't the only one I had to give up on once I had kids. They ALL went away for me.
