I get Xmas Day and Boxing day off... don't really care if I work new years I finish work a few hours before midnight and I'm finishing up my job on the 2nd. Just handed in my notice today I feel like the biggest asshole BUT you have to think of whats best for yourself right?

As for Xmas day I've got my brother, sister in law and her boyfriend coming to stay for a night, we'll end up at mum and dads sitting in the pool getting drunk and eating way too much lol

nah i dnt.. but im on a contract.. so the only way i get paid is if i actually do hours. and the only reason im taking the time off is because the office shuts and i cant work.

[elemeNtz]

i'm really going to enjoy my 3 weeks off i was going to take 5 weeks off but i'd end up getting bored

[Tom_1569]

lucky barstool!!

I gota work on Christmas ..NYE and NYD :P

[Philthy]

Only day off I'm guarrenteed over summer is christmas day. I'm a student though - this is the only time of year I do any real work, so I have to make the most of it

[Kikki]

I don't start working at my new job until the 2nd of February, so no work for me (except kids)! The BF drives interstate, so he'll get Christmas day & boxing day off but doubtful he'll be home, so me and my boys (5 & 7) are going to pack up the car & dogs and go camping wherever we end up.

Then back home for the dysfunctional pretend "we love each other" Christmas lunch at my sisters then the same at my other sisters for dinner BLAH!
