Are the Christmas holidays too long?

It's been like a month of Sundays and my masseuse has taken herself off for a month in the sun.

I suppose it depends on whether one has to go to work. When I was working the holidays were NEVER long enough but now that I'm retired the holidays seem to go on and on and on and on for ever. Soon be back to normal though. Happy 2011 Sandy.

The Scots get one more bank holiday over New Year than the English - so presumably the hangovers are worse north of the border.

On one hand I am enjoying a break from work, but as the mother of bored, squabbling kids it is deffo too long

My auntie's taken a month off of work, three week with her fiance in South Africa (where he's working for the next few months) and then a week skiing in the alps somewhere . . .
