I will be completely inactive here during that period as I'll be staying at my parent's place and they don't have the internet at their house. I'll probably make a few posts here before then, though.

Not sure how the Christmas/New Year period goes in America as far as work is concerned, but down here a lot of businesses shut down for a couple of weeks and don't open up again until the first Monday after New Year's Day, sometimes later.

For many people, last Friday was their final work day for the year and they could be off for a number of weeks before starting back at work. Some people will be off on holiday for all of January.

I'm not so lucky. I will be working up to Christmas Eve, then when I get back to Sydney I am going into work on December 31 and January 2, and then starting back to work as usual the following Monday. My job is part-time, Monday to Wednesday, but I'll be starting to work there on Thursdays as well starting next month.

Just to add, December, January and February are our summer months. In addition, the school year ends in mid-December and doesn't start until late January, so a lot of families go on vacation during that period.

Hard to believe another year has come and gone. Just like last year, I will be spending some time up north over Christmas. Only difference is this time I am flying up on December 24 and coming back on the 28th.
