Hi All,

Aint bin on here last few weeks as been busy working, getting ready for christmas and sorting various oher things-quite stressed really and not fully enjoying at mo:-?.

But my plan is/was to get the stress out of the way by early december (and most of the shopping), but will be working up untill christmas week. Will be off from 21st-27th december and then 30th dec and 1st January 2010.

Also going on a mini christmas break on 14th & 15th december so will be winding right down from then really, but at the mo it's busy busy busy for me.

How long has everyone else got off for christmas?

:merry:

Cheers

I will be off from December 19th to January 4th. No need for school buses when the schools are closed! cheesy

I took vacation from the 17th through Christmas and go back to work on the 28th. My sweety loves to go to certain neighborhoods to look at decorations. We are also planning a little getaway during that time. I am really looking forward to it.

Being a teacher, I get December 23rd through January 3rd. We go back to an inservice day so the kids get an extra day. :razz: I'm looking forward to that time off.

Being self emplyed and working from home, I can do what I like ;)

However... running a Christmas site takes up all of my Dec (and also most of Nov for the past couple of years) and I have to stop my 'normal' work, just to look after the site! So you might see more of me on here as I'm 'Christmas' working!

December 19th to January 3rd.

Looking forward to it!

Well for work My boss gave me Christmas eve off, and then vacation from the 26th to january 2nd (christmas we're closed).

And as for school it ends in about 2 weeks, which will be lovelycheesy

The only reason I had Thanksgiving and today off is because Thursday & Friday were my regular off days this week and not enough others scheduled annual leave to affect me. However, his weekend I’ll be working overtime with one being a double shift. I’ll be dragging Sunday afternoon for sure!

Though my regular off days will also fall on Christmas Eve and Christmas this year, I may have to work overtime during that long weekend as well. I guess you can tell I’m lowest in seniority at work!

Stupidity and meanness never observe holidays. Don’t drink and drive or drink and loiter! If you do, I may supply the chaser! If you steal, rob, or otherwise menace this holiday season, I hope to provide some of you with a cold, harsh place to stay.

Act right! Remember; I have the coroner’s number on speed dial!

I finish at 12.00 on the 18th back in on the 29th for 3 days then off until the 4th Jan

[Father Christmas]

I've been unemployed now for 5 months. Just got hired and am starting a new minimum wage job on monday. I get the 25th off. That's it.
All the companies I've ever worked for only ever gave you off Christmas day and half of christmas eve. I envy those of you getting so much time off!

12/23, 24, 25, 31. 1/1.

[GingerMel]

Technically we are off of work Dec 25 - Jan 4 but I'll probably schedule myself off for the 23/24.

I can't believe we don't have Christmas Eve off this year. It's terrible! But I'm sure it could be a lot worse so I should probably shut it.

As I don't work life could be classed as one long holiday.
Only Xmas has no snow more glitter and sparkles.
Than the average month.
Altho i think if a tourist was visiting Sydney Mardi Gras they may think it competes with the glitter n sparkle of Xmas.

Our company is closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day. I'll at least take off the three days between Christmas and New Years, and I might even take the 3 days before Christmas. 16 days in a row for the cost of 6 vacation days...might be worth it!

[mgramsey]

Off Dec 18 through Jan 3. Can't wait...

That gives me an idea...if I take off Dec 21-24 (4 vacation days) then I will have 16 days off too!!!

Man. I never even thought of it. Thanks.

My last working day is the 11th of December and I am not going back until the 4th of January!!!!
