Thread: Do you get holiday vacation?

  1. #1

    Do you get holiday vacation?

    How much time do you get off from work/school for xmas?

    I really only get 2 days off But assuming I can get someone to work tuesday, then I will have 5 days off (*hopes*)

    About two and a half weeks off school for me. It's best in summer, we get 8 weeks off, most other schools only get six!

    Yep! Three weeks. We go back on January 7th.

    Most of that vacation time will be spent doing homework, though, I've got loads of it.

    I never work the weekend so I don't know if I'd count that or not, but we are getting out early today (within the next couple hours) and we have all day Monday off.

    We are closing early today and then are closed til Wednesday. Most of my co-workers are off til January 2, but since I don't have kids I volunteered to work next week. I have the entire month of February off so it's no big deal! I wish was able to go see my family right now, but thanks to a very generous Christmas gift from my Dad, I might be able to in February!

    I work for the Marriott, so open 24/7 . But I take lots of time off all year, since I've worked there 25 years. I have a month off now, well 27 days. And good thing too, since the dogs got the rat bait, I can stay home and keep and eye on them. Tom works for a school dist. and is taking a 17 day vacation. Then in Sept when school starts we take another 2 or 3 wks off. He has every holiday off so I take them off too. But no matter how long you have off, it's never enough !!!
