Holidays Approaching, Are You Open Or Closed The Week Between Christmas And New Years

[jojosmommy]

What is everyone doing for Holidays this year? Last year I was open a few days but this year the holidays seem oddly placed midweek. I plan to offer my families a few options and get them to commit to the days they want now so I can bill Dec 1st for what they have committed to.

This is on my list of things to do... For the first time we're going out of town for the holiday so I think I will be open Monday and close Tues-Fri (only Wed paid) and then closed the following Wed (paid). I'm not sure if I'll be open Mon-Tues before New Years yet. I think Tues-Sun is good enough but need to confirm with dh.

Haven't you guys already decided??

I gave out my list of scheduled closings when they signed the contract. I am not closed any days that week except christmas and the day after.

Sure, scheduled paid holiday lists are prepared for the year but not vacation or personal days. I have not made a final decision about that gap/week either because it partially depended on how many vacation/personal days I had taken up until this point.

I have never actually used a personal /sick day but IF I had to and was sick enough to use one it would change my plans. It is a strange mid week thing this year!! I will decide in the next week or two and the families will have more than enough notice.

I have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off as well as New Years day, but that's it. I'm deciding if I want to take the whole week of Christmas off, but it's only 3 days of being open and if I do close, that would be my unpaid vacation so I think I'll just keep it the way it is so I'm paid for that week.

I do know that at least one of my families will have Christmas break off because she works at a school, but that is the family that always brings their kids every day they have off.

Our center closes early Christmas Eve, and is closed Christmas Day. And the same for New Year's Eve and Day. Other then that we are open. I try and save my vacation for then, but last year I was only off two days that week.

This year I am not sure what I will have yet.

[craftymissbeth]

I'm closing to whole week of Xmas.

[Msdunny]

I am closed the entire week of Christmas, and Mon-Wed. of the next week, but I have a teacher's kid who wouldn't be here anyway, and my other family is flexible. It just works better for me this way.

I am closed from Dec 24-Jan 1.

[kathiemarie]

I'm closed Dec 24 to Jan 2. PAID!

[Sunshine75]

I am closed Christmas Eve to after New Years day!

[SilverSabre25]

Closed the week of Christmas (including the Saturdays on either end, oh dear Saturday DCM!) and New Year's Day.

Christmas and the 26th are paid; the rest are unpaid. I can't wait.

closed 12/24, 12/25 and 1/1. Wish it was the week between but I'll just have to be happy with 2 short weeks in a row
