I will be. Took too many days this year for illnesses and vacations.

Nope, daycare winter vacation starts that day and I won't be working much (if at all) while school is closed.

I'll answer for DH as I am currently a SAHM, and the answer is no! His company, along with most places here, shut down for two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period. As Christmas is on a Friday this year, everyone finishes up work on the 18th and they go back the 4th of January. Australia was the same and it is so nice that nearly everyone (except essential personnel) are off during that time as there is no fighting for who gets to take the time off etc...

No, it is a holiday for us, which is very nice. I would take it off if it wasn't a holiday.

Office is closed even if I wasn't taking vacation. I am work at noon on the 18th and not coming back till Jan 4th!

I'm a sahm, so technically yes, though having family for the holiday will give me a bit of a break.

Yes but I will be leaving early since daycare closes early. I would really love to have off but I have to be conservative with days to account for sick kiddos and upcoming maternity leave.

No, we're closed Christmas Eve through Jan 3, but I'm scheduled for 4 ER shifts after Christmas.

No because I'm having a baby a week before
Were that not the case I would, though, or at least a half day, depending on how charitable the governor is feeling.

Nope, I am off the entire day. 1/2 PTO and 1/2 company holiday.

I won't be, but only because I am having surgery and that will be time off for recovery. Otherwise I would be.

Yes but probably from home and we will likely get off early. I'm trying to save up my vacation time for next year (babymoon and maternity leave)!

No (school is closed plus I'm on maternity leave), but DH might be (retail).

No, but only because I'm taking vacation...we are open that day which is a huge grievance we have.

Nope; office is closer 24th and 25th. I'm sorry you gotta work!

Short day (9-2) but also on call. I'm the newest person and have very little PTO. I do have the 21st-23rd off and the 25th off but work again on the 26th. Mixed bag overall.

No, but I had to use vacation time. Our office doesn't close through the holidays except for mandatory holidays.

Dh has to work until 3, but I am super grateful, because we can still make the family gathering.

Yep! Everyone's gone and I'll be able to leave half day anyways so not going to waste PTO.

Hellz to the no. Last day of school is December 18th, holiday until January 4th.

We were supposed to but the governor decided to close state offices.

Yes- it's a shortened day and my husband is off to watch the boys, so I'm going in for at least the morning to prep for a big inspection we have coming up in January. I love days like that, nobody is there to interrupt me, I can get a lot done!
