QuoteFinish midday on the 23rd, and return 5th January.....sounds great, but to be honest I get bored (and fatter!) between Boxing Day and New Year
I know this will vary quite a bit depending on peoples jobs but what's your situation with christmas hols?
Because I'm in the higher education sector I think we'll finish on the Friday before (19th) and come back on either Friday 2nd or monday 5th.
I appreciate that's a decent break as I imagine there'll be plenty finishing later and back earlier.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

I'm a Civil Servant I'll be in Christmas eve, back the 29th. Only because 27th and 28th are weekend. Might get an extra privileged day thrown in somewhere over Christmas/New Year. Who says we have it easy?

The fact that I'm in work posting on an internet forum would suggest I'm not worked quite as hard as Bob Cratchett. Tiny Tim will have a mediocre Christmas.

PI, what are you saying, sure no ones gets freeholidays, we have to take them off, not even in the civil service!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Loads of places shut down for a week, and their annual leave entitlements aren't affected

Am on Christmas Eve morning until midday, and will be due back the 28th.
Am not cribbing though. Many nurses, for an example I'm familiar with, don't get off at all.

This prompted me to check with my line-manager. Officially I have to work up to and on Christmas Eve, but then should be off to Monday the 5th. I'll take the 22nd to 24th off though as I've leave due me and that's a nice two week break, ta very much!
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
I'm pretty sure the teachers get free holidays, at least that's what it looks like. To be honest I think I'm lucky to have a civil service job at the moment. And contrary to popular belief there's plenty of hard working people in the job (many either badly or under utelised admittedly).

working christmas eve christmas day till 6pm then off till the 29th
We get the bare minimum annual leave, 20 days is it? We have to take five of those over Christmas shutdown, so we finish on the 23rd, and back on the 5th.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
The Brits are giving us northern civil servants Christmas Eve off as well.
Construction historically takes 2 weeks off but I usually try to have some work on thats means I am at least back early in the 2nd week . It doent fall particully well this year being a Thur as in theory we break up on 19th and are not back till 5th. Will probably try and work 22,23 and 29, 30 and carry the holidays over.
I'm off 24th/25th/26th ...in on the Sat, off on the Sun...then I've taken a weeks holidays because I'm going to NY for new years
Half day on the 23rd and back then around the 5th of Jan
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
As long as I want. Getting layed off on the 23 of December.
Something to do with some sort of a reccession.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
finished 19th Dec, back around start of Feb, but i have exams at the end of January
plus i work part-time, and the bliddy boss will have me on everyday over christmas (hopefully) so i dont have time off.
My contract is up for renewal on the 23rd December so I could turn out like Torn-Ado. I don't think I will though they are hectic busy where I am so i'm expecting it to be renewed.
As for Xmas, we were supposed to get substantial time-off, nearly 2 weeks AFAIK. But now i'd say i'll be in Xmas Eve till 8 and be back on the 29th when you consider how busy things are
