what days are you having off over christmas?

Well if I were still working I'd take as few days off as possible - the leave is much better saved until the spring or even summer.

from friday 18th till Jan 5th - another school worker here!

But I'm a mum - so I'll still be 'working'.:rolleyes:

OH isn't taking any time off apart from the statuatory ones:mad::mad:.

DS (works at MacDonalds when not at college) has got 24th and 25th off and 30th,31st and 1st. He's quite chuffed....but not at working Boxing Day for no extra!

Off on Christmas day (Yipee!), only my third christmas day off in the last 20 years but working Boxing day. Honestly would have prefered to work Christmas day as the Salvation Army come and sing carols, Santa visits and all parents are really cheery. Boxing day, there's no singing, pressies or smiles as everyone is bloated and grumpy!! (I'm a Sister on a Neonatal Unit)

I'm a self-employed cleaner and am working flat out until Xmas eve. Everyone wants their houses cleaned before chaos ensues! Then off until 4th Jan.

I'm very lucky. i'm a sahm so i have all the time off. hubby this year finished work on 18th and goes back on the 4th or 5th. he's a sparks and every year he has been on emergancy call at some point over the xmas and new year. but this year he has the whole time off. Fantastic. i can't wait.:j

I have just given up work after more than 30 years as a nurse. I have lost count of how many years I have had to work over Christmas and New Year and to be honest I do have some regrets about the time I have missed with my family, especially the years when my children were little. Having said that there is no other career I would rather have had. Family time is precious so I agree that only essential workers should work over Christmas.

I've got 22nd off for some last minute bits, I'm working up to & including xmas eve (so 23rd & 24th).
Then off till Tuesday 29th Dec, working that one day & off till Mon 4th Jan.

That seems a bit harsh Hayley, what do you do ??

I decide my own hours as I am self employed and the plan is that I will not work between 18th Dec-6th Jan
Hubby is off 23rd Dec-6th Jan
Son is only off on xmas day & boxing day is his usual day off anyway,he also gets a few days over new year so it adds up to a decent break really
