Holiday plans, days off?

[Pom]

Mr. P is working from home tomorrow and then off until Jan 3rd. He will probably have a day of remote work next week, but I am excited!

We are headed to my parents' house on the Gulf Coast in south Florida on Dec 26th.

What's everyone got brewing through the beginning of 2017?

My husband is having knee surgery (again, this is #6 in the last 4 years) on the 27th. That's about it.

Well that isn't fun but I sincerely hope it is a success and an easy recovery!

Work from home til noon on Friday, then off for 2 weeks. I go in early in the morning, every day so I am really looking forward to 2 weeks of waking up on my own schedule. Family will all be here Christmas Eve for our celebration. Christmas Day will be a quiet day, just the 2 of us and that's fine, looking forward to King Crab legs for our dinner.

Husband won't be home until late Friday or possibly Saturday from visiting his sister, her new baby, and his dad. But at least the kids aren't out of school until Friday afternoon so I'm not doing solo parenting all day and night. I think he has the whole next week off, but assume he will still work as it has been crazy for him lately. Then we are actually getting our inspection repairs done (yes, we bought the house five months ago). And then we have friends coming in for NYE!!!!

I think it is more likely a stepping stone on the way to total knee replacement. He's only 37, so they are trying to limp him along (literally) for a few more years. Meanwhile we have a two year old he struggles to keep up with....

I'm off Friday through January 3. Headed to Vegas on the 26th. im sick though, so I might be out tomorrow too.

I hope you get better before Vegas. I swear, all of my up north friends are sick. Whiskey (or meds lol) and naps all around!

[daisyn]

I'm off until Jan 3! 
Closing on my new house today and moving on Friday, so spending much of my vacation on that.  Spending Christmas locally with my family.

[fernweh]

I'm off 12/24-1/2, H unfortunately isn't so we can't do anything fun. I will likely work on our bathroom remodel and a few organization projects I want to take care of.

[Deleted]

I am so grateful to have a brief lull at work and escape for a few weeks.

Island vacation, lots of yoga, trying to break my PR for running my regular 2-mile route, making Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon and catching up on some books from the library.

I also want o organize my closet and try to give poor H some more space, but that is at the bottom of the list!

Basically, practicing for early retirement. I am going to kill it

[y4m]

Today is my last day until after New Years. Or possibly until May if this baby comes a bit early.

[AmyRI]

I'm working today and next Tuesday but that's it.

Tomorrow I have to figure out which gifts are from Santa and wrap those and re-hide, but hopefully wrap everything. And make sugar cookies.
Saturday will be spent decorating said sugar cookies and possibly a gingerbread house, and making a short appearance at my mother's XMas eve party to see my step brothers and their kids.
Sunday we are hosting my mom, stepdad, and grandmother.
Monday-Friday DH and DS are going to visit FIL and I'm home, got lots of little plans with different people to keep me busy.
New Year's Day we're having Bonus Christmas with the same people as Christmas + my bro and his fiancee and at least 2 of my cousins, but hopefully 4, hosted by my grandma at her house.

Really looking forward to January for a myriad of reasons.

[ally]

I have off tomorrow through the 2nd.  DH has to work most of that, which means I will get some alone time - lots of reading and napping!

We will spend Christmas Eve with his family.  Christmas day with mine.  Friends will come over on 12/30 for an early NYE dinner and sleepover (due to all the wine!).

[Pom]

y4m, thinking of you and wishing you the best!

AmyRI, your kiddos are too cute

[shaynaatl]

I'm off starting tomorrow until Jan 3 No big plans though, just staying in town and mainly hanging with family.

[mbcdefg]

My mom's on Christmas Eve and Morning.

MH's cousin's on Christmas Afternoon.

My aunt and uncle's on the 26th.

Concert/vacation on the 27th-30th.

I'm working today and tomorrow, and Tuesday. 

[cajunmom]

Very few plans. I close tomorrow at 2 and am closed Monday, plus I'm also closed Jan. 2nd.

We're staying home for Christmas, which is nice. Probably go to the movies.

NYE will be way more low key than normal as H and the kids are leaving early Jan. 1st to go to Universal Studios (they don't know about it, it's their big christmas gift). I'll be home alone until the 4th but I work so it isn't too exciting for me.

[hamster]

Subject to change based on H's work requirements but...

MIL coming tomorrow.
My dad coming Saturday.
Tuesday is anniversary of FILs passing, but not sure of plans.
Wednesday I'm going to visit my BFF. We don't talk often and very rarely see each other, but she's that lifelong friend where it doesn't matter. I'm so excited.

[steph96]

I am jealous of everyone that will be off until the new year! That's the one thing I miss about my old job!

I am off tomorrow and Monday. We don't have any plans other than traveling 15 minutes away to do Christmas with my family. I am hoping to accomplish a lot around the house during my 4 day weekend!

[elletr13]

I'm off starting today until the 2nd. My office is open today and half tomorrow, so I'm keeping eye on email. We're closed next week though, so nothing can really happen.

Currently on the way to GA to spend the weekend with my family. Back to Memphis Tuesday. UGA plays in the Liberty Bowl Friday; I'm excited to have my team playing in town! No plans for NYE yet.

[tacom]

My sister is in town and my brothers come next week!

Tomorrow is a girls day - manicures, bite lip lap, boozy lunch
I work Xmas eve but H and my sister and I will do a nice dinner and gifts once I'm home.
Xmas day we head to jersey.
NYE will be dinner and lots of wine at a steakhouse I've wanted to try, then desserts and a game night at home. Brocom is on crutches from hip surgery so we wanted something low key. The dogs will be pleased!

[konapoppy]

I am getting off early tomorrow afternoon and not returning until the 3rd. We are celebrating Christmas on the 24th, then hopefully going to Monterey and doing the Hanukkah celebration.

My plans include:
- binge tv
- catch up on knitting
- see Moana and LaLa Land
- organize and clean the house
- create 2017 goals and calendar

[irene adler]

"Off" this whole week, but I've still been working almost full-time trying to catch up on alterations.

I don't go back until mid January. (And to all the "must be nice-era" out there – remember, my pay is pretty abysmal and I work two additional jobs to fill in the gaps)

I honestly don't know what our plans for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day are. Will go to my mother-in-law's at some point. We are also driving up to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and niece on the 26.

[bostonmichelle]

I'm off until January 3rd and am going in late that day due to a doctor's appointment.

We are currently in the car and driving north to Boston. We are stopping overnight in Maryland and then driving the rest tomorrow. We are leaving next Friday and have a ton of plans between now and then.

[raangoli]

I only get the 26th off and since I'm new I barely have any PTO so I will be working. Hopefully I can do some WAH to make it a bit easier.

[pinkdutchtulips]

2 4 day weekends for me DC is closed the next 2 Fridays and my office is closed the next 2 Mondays .

[egishere]

My office closes at 3 today which is 2 my time since I WFH in another timezone. Closed tomorrow and Mon then I'm taking the rest of next week off. Also closed Mon 1/2.

[niq]

I get the 26th and 30th off. I'm playing hooky midday on the 29th to go see Sing with babyniq and other daycare parents, but other than that, three days of quiet low-key work.

We usually do Xmas eve with her dad, and Xmas day with her mom. Between breakups and people moving to Japan, the parties should be back down to a sane number of people. My mom is visiting my sister for the week (!).

New Year's Eve is msniq's birthday, but since that's usually a prix fixe night, we're going out a few days later.

[purpleminion]

I work at a school, so today is our last day before holiday break. We go back on January 3rd. Mr. Minion works until noon tomorrow and then took all of next week off and he will also go back on January 3rd. We'll do Christmas with my family in town and then next Friday we'll drive 3 hours to do Christmas with Mr. Minion's family. I'm thankful that we're not traveling until next weekend because we're supposed to get a big snow storm on Sunday.
