    My last day is on the 20th Dec, and the office is closed until 6th Jan, so I'm lucky on that count.

    But I don't get paid for the time off, so I'm unlucky on that count.

    But it doesn't count as any of my personal holiday days, so I'm lucky on that count.

    In the six years I've worked at the mall, this is the first time I didn't ask for Christmas Eve off (which is my grandma's birthday and my family honestly makes this day a much bigger deal with the whole family than the actual Christmas day). Funnily enough, this is the first time in six years they've actually given me Christmas Eve off.

    So, I'll not be working Christmas Eve and Christmas day, and that's it.

    I don't finish it since I need to travel around in my sleigh, giving some gifts to people.

    It's not compulsory leave? You lucky bugger. I have to take 3 days holiday!

    I finish work on Christmas Eve, then join an unbearably packed train to see the rest of the family for gift giving festivities.

    My boyfriend informed me yesterday, as he turned off his alarm and rolled over groggily, that he has decided that 'I'm starting my Christmas vacation now. I'll go back to work like....the 6th of the new year. Yeah."

    So now that's what is happening. I'm not complaining! I start school in January so I'm really happy we'll get to spend a ton of time with one another until then but it makes me extremely envious that he has a job where he can do that.

    I'm the low man on the totem poll at my office and I live locally, so I was not able to use any vacation time this year. But I do have the state holidays off, so I'm off the 24-25th, and 31-1st. I also got a colleague to cover for me over the 30th, so I at least have a long weekend.

    It doesn't even really feel like Christmas yet because I've been so busy with work. I still need to finish up my Christmas shopping.

    College break is mid-December to mid-January so I have a month off from school.

    I have two weeks off of work this month between switching jobs so that's pretty awesome too.

    Turns out that I didn't get the 2nd January off because I am a tit, but did get the 3rd off. Opted to just go back to work from the 2nd onwards. Yay one day extra leave. Well, technically two because I also get a day in lieu for working a bank holiday.
