I'm probably going to be a Grinch and not play. The next couple of weeks are looking very busy (work, house repairs, visitors, + my birthday).
I'm also not truly excited about computer/online chess. I like to sit down with a real board, a drink and a friend (to be a face across the board). Conversation and banter move the experience from an intellectual exercise into the realm of competition and entertainment.
