Our office is shut next week, so I'm "working" a half day from home tomorrow (AKA buying spuds and Brussels sprouts from the market) then I'm finished until 3 January 2012. How about you?

Edit: Wow, I really wish I hadn't misspelled Christmas in the title, I'm going to Hell for that!

    I finish 6pm tomorrow returning 3rd January - the office is open Thursday and Friday between but I've taken holidays.

    The first time in over 20 years that I have been off for the complete Christmas and New Year period! :drinker: :smile: :drinker: :smile: :drinker:

    I usually have the whole festive period off but as we've moved offices I am so close now I have given the other people I work with first pick of holidays!

    I finish lunch time tomorrow for 4.5 days. I'll work 28th and then have 5 days off. I am back 3rd and 4th Jan then have 4 days off and back properly from 9th Jan.

    The odd days in the office will break up the monontony of all that eating and drinking LOL!

    I'm done at lunchtime today. Off until the 3rd. I have a client I see Friday mornings so I have to do that tommorrow. I also manage the maintenance of 3 properties for one of my clients, and have a meeting tommorrow afternoon about what work can be done while the properties are vacant over Christmas and New Years. I may have to do a few small jobs over that period, but I hope it's not much.

    I work 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday) from home doing medical transcription from 2:30 am to 8 am, all year long except on my own scheduled vacations. So this will be the first "holiday" that I will have off because Xmas and New Year's falls on Sundays this year, my one day off a week. So as of 8 a.m. Saturday morning, I am off until Monday 1:30 am (filling in for someone else a little earlier).

    :grumble: I'm so jealous :( I work this Friday and have Monday off, but back at it on Tuesday. That is what I get for working in healthcare.

    I only get the weekend + Monday off for both Christmas & New Years =(

    But a 4 day week is better than a 5 day week!

    I do in-home estiamtes for new Windows, Roofing, Gutters, Attic Insulation. Its a slow time of year for our industry, people seem to be focused more on family than on home remodeling. But my schedule is open for appointments, so if a customer wants an estimate I'll go see them any day. Dec 25 and Jan 1 its unlikely I'll be working.

    Having a decent month ...people have said 'yes' and made a purchase from me on 16 out of 36 appointments so far.

    Today's my last day before Christmas. I'm working Wed & Thurs next week, but don't expect anything too stressful to happen during the interstitial period and I'll be at home too.

    Normal service will resume on Tues 3 January (although I'll be at home again possibly with a hangover :laugh:)

    I only get Christmas Eve and Christmas day off but all next week is Holiday pay so when you work on top of that you get time and a half plus your holiday! So it's like double time and a half... I will take it :)

    Off today at noon until next Wednesday. Work W, T, F (half day) and then off until the 3rd. Usually take both weeks completely off, but we're busy (which is a good thing). Happy Holidays to everyone!
