But don't sigh, it's actually a good time to organise your Christmas holiday. If you're at work and you don't have 'factory' holidays, then you'll want to get your holiday booked before everyone else rushes in.
That's where uncle pb comes in with some handy hints.
Christmas this year is on a Thursday, meaning that it's a good chance to get a 4 day weekend without eating in to your holiday time. Why not book 29th-31st off as well and then 2nd, giving you 11 days holiday for the price of 4?
With New Year falling on a Thursday as well, don't fall in to the trap of spending 2nd January at work. Book the friday off before it's too late!
Alternatively, like most men, you'll probably be Christmas shopping at the last minute. So why not have 22nd to 24th off of work and enjoy the whole week, while beating that rush. It would also give you more freedom should you be invited to an office Christmas party.
But don't worry if you've run out of holiday time already, this year is a good one for just taking the standard holidays off. Even without booking you'll get 4 days at Christmas. You can always phone in sick with food poisoning on 2nd Jan...

Sooooo much to happen between now and then.
Got no holiday left to book any more off - I need it all for the wedding / honeymoon.

People aren't ignorant - they like a good excuse for a 'blow out' and boy is Christmas a good excuse. No matter what the current economic climate is, each and every one of us will find that little bit extra at Christmas and have a rip-roaring time. Never fails:)
PS Merry Christmas, Reaper:D
I do have FOUR nephews but I'm the awesome Uncle that they love even though I get them -one- present. Which they look at, play with for a bit, and move on. Everyone wins!
Although it's getting to the point now where they're developing 'hobbies' so I'll just get stuff for those
