Saturday I'm at my friend's house most of the day, Sunday I head to NH for a week's vacation. :awe:
I've got 5 weeks of vacation time. One is used between Christmas and New Year and I want to roll over 2 weeks to next year. I still have to figure out how to burn the remaining 2 weeks. Maybe I'll just take Fridays off at the end of the year or maybe I'll take most of December off.
I tend to think the Fridays is a better plan. If you take tons of time off in December, you might get snagged for your wife's plans to decorate the house, or roped into some awful parties.
For example, one of her friends bought two bottles of wine for the party. One was a REALLY cheap bottle (think $3), and the other was a so-so bottle -- maybe $10, probably $8. At the end of the party, she actually asked if she could take the wine home and left us the really cheap bottle.
That's a real winner.
For me, it is the only time of the year I get drunk. My wife made this punch last year that was like liquid candy and I couldn't stop drinking and was totally bombed.
