I will be working on December 24 and 25 but I will be at home. I am grateful that we have this set up. I get to celebrate Christmas Eve with the family. Sleep maybe 2AM and work at 8AM. I work in the morning, so I won't any problems with the noises. But I will be off on December 31 and January 1. And planning to extend until January 3. We will have a company holiday for 4 days if I am not mistaken. As long as leaves are properly communicated.

I am so sorry to hear you're going to be working on the holidays. But it sounds ok since it is a work from home.

Keeping my fingers cross that they will announce no work in the office during the holiday that we need to work.

That is good to know. We can't go on vacation full force...Companies need us. In case their servers are down, we attend to it and dispatch a technician to check.
