Christmas holidays

Finish next Wednesday (or Tuesday if I can build enough flexi time up before then) meant to be back in on the 2nd but tempted to book that and Friday the 3rd off and go back on Monday 6th, full week back in balls deep prepping for our customer from over the Atlantic to visit the week after.

Best time of the year, loads of food, beer, football and darts. Suppose spending time with the kids is alright aswell
 
How much time are you guys taking off work for the Xmas break? (For those who are working).

I can’t wait to have some time off! Hopefully will have about two weeks off.
Work until early afternoon on 23rd, off on 24th & 25th, back at it late afternoon on Boxing Day.

Lucky to get that, as we are a 24/7/365 operation and about 40% of us are at work at any given moment.

It helps that our new contract has an extra 5:15 hrs pay for those who work on Holidays, so someone grabbing 10:30 hrs of extra pay has allowed me to be home with my wife and kids, and to spend some quality Holiday time with my MIL, for whom this is her last Christmas (Just found out the Big C has her in its grips for the next 3-4 months).

I only take bank holidays and leave days in between for rest of team who've got kids and grandkids. We've a new manager so not sure what will happen this year on Christmas eve and News Year's eve but in past we have had pub lunch between 12-2 then I let them go home and I stayed to 3.30-4 to cover.
