It's the holiday season and a joyous time for many of us. I do hope you are feeling the giving spirit and looking to creates smiles for others as you prepare for your particular celebration during the break from work next week. This is certainly a time to remember that many others are less fortunate that most of us that work in technology, and I'd encourage you to consider giving something to help others.

Howver, many of us will receive gifts this holiday season, and in the spirit of having some fun, I wanted to make a fun poll this week.

What is on the top of your wish list that would help improve your time at work?

If you are like me, the one thing you'd really like is more time. It's unlikely I (or you) will receive that particular gift, but I know that it's the one resource that is always limited for me. Barring that, I think there are a few things that might make work time a bit better for me.

I'm not in an office, but having a nice set of headphones to help me concentrate on a task, or even relax while traveling would be good. My laptop is starting to have some issues, so I'll be looking to replace it at some point, but many of you might find yourself working faster with a newer, more powerful machine. No matter what your hardware, you need a place to work, so maybe 2015 is the time to try a taller, or faster, desk. Perhaps you just need a few more USB ports, a little power on the go, or even a new way to commute to the office.

The array of possibilities for changing work continues to grow as technology advances the world. We can work anywhere, though it is important to stop working and relax. Perhaps the best thing for many of us might be a way to refresh and recharge away from work so that we'll be ready to hit the ground running when we return. The best way to do that is to take your vacation.

Let us know what might be on your fun list, and have a fantastic holiday season. I know I will as I'm leaving tomorrow for a week in Steamboat Springs.
