Yeah, Christmas vacation is extra long this year. From December 25th till January 24th.
Another yeah, this is absurd.
The banks are closed too, except for some who saw fit to conduct business. I am also concerned about the production side. How would we fare with the supplies especially when the holidays “demand” we get these for the food to be had? Companies are required to pay these workers more which will further give them more cost that what is necessary. Oh well, their problem, not mine.
Sure, bonding time with family is going to be reinforced. But vacation time means:
a. going out to eat or just malling
b. traveling to wonderful places to have a different atmosphere
c. having food delivered because they have been too lazy to cook due to excessive DVD marathon
d. kids tagging along in the supermarket (oh no!)
I will be a “killjoy” and would probably spend these days bugging my family to make these days days to tidy up the house and gather as well as dispose those that are not being used.
Several of my friends went and are going either out of town or out of the country for a few days. I wish we could do that too but being there’s no one to stay at home makes it really impossible to do.
I hope their packages have travel insurance.
Which reminds me to ask about the travel packages hubby’s cousin has in her travel/booking office.
