We get X-Mas Eve, X-Mas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's off.

Realistically, the company is shut down between X-Mas and New Years. Nobody is around, because they're using up their vacation days before they expire.

We have company shutdown from the 25th until the 4th. We have to use our own PTO days except for the weekends, the 25th, and the 1st.

No, but most people use vacation days to get the full span from Christmas through New Years off. I didn't my first year, and it was pretty much a ghost town.

We only out a half day on Christmas and New Years Eve and have the actual holidays off. I will however be seriously slacking the week between while people are gone on vacation.

We're on annual leave from 25/12/09 to 4/1/10 with a half day on 24/12/09. I'm also taking the first week off in January, so I go back on 11/1/10. Over two weeks off; I can't wait :D

Half day Friday then closed until 1/4. But only two of those days are holidays the rest are taken out of your time off pool.
