Great minds think alike, I finish next Friday too and I’m not going back till the 5th Jan - My choosing and the beauty of being on agency work. Always get 2 or 3 weeks off for Christmas and new year and love spending it at home or away at family combining that with a double date with the beer/wine/baileys/whatever else may be going round (delete as applicable) and the darts on Sky Sports. That for me is when the Christmas season properly starts and I’ve always loved everything about it from the family time, being allowed to eat and drink too much and not feeling guilty, the films, the festive football on TV etc
