How was your Christmas? 🎄🎁

As for me, this was my second Christmas with my fiancée’s family, and just like last year, it was awesome. Gifts, warm cookies, great conversations, and even a trip into NYC since it was their first time seeing the city. Everything was going perfectly. Until the last day 😅

They had a late flight yesterday and of course a snowstorm hit, so the flight got canceled. United’s website was not working, the app kept crashing, and there were no live agents available. Definitely one of those moments that quietly tests leadership, patience, and attitude.

Thankfully, no one lost their cool. With too many unknowns around the next flight, they made the call to cancel, get a full refund, and rent a car. Going to the airport to pick up that car and see over 100 people in the same situation was another adventure (see picture below, that was just the line from Avis, and in the back Budget lol). Even that took over an hour, and they drove back to Dallas and arrived safely.

Airports, flights, and the DMV might be the best real life leadership labs there are. You learn a lot just by watching how people handle stress, delays, and things they cannot control 😂

All in all, it was a great Christmas. Time to slow down, enjoy family, and appreciate the moments. And the snow made it feel even more real, not just like the movies I grew up watching in Brazil.
