> I can really enjoy the winter break from work

What line of work are you in that you can take a winter break, and furthermore, that you can actually not work during that break? I'm envious...

I've always wanted to do AoC but on top of work it is too much.




I get the week between Christmas and New Year's off and then I take a bunch of my PTO in December. It's not an official break or anything.


Developer here. I'm off from 13 Dec to 6 Jan this year.

PRevious years I've managed basically the entire month of December.

I always have holiday days left over at the end of the year to take.


Lots of people (in tech at least) take time on top of mandatory vacation that can result in like 2 weeks of time.
