        I close for Pd Holiday New Years Day only but I almost always take more time off using vacation days. This year I am closed the entire week of Christmas and the entire week of New Years. I saved enough vacation time to take the full 2 weeks off!

          For New Year's, I only close New Year's Day, but we also don't really go out New Year's Eve or do anything other than make a sad attempt to stay up until midnight! If I did have plans, I'd close early at 3:00 (as I do for Christmas Eve) and remain closed New Year's Day.

                I close on Friday Dec 20 at 5:00 p.m. and reopen on Thursday Jan 2 at 7:15 a.m.

                Other years, I have closed early on New Year's Eve and been closed on New Year's Day

                I always try to take the week in between Christmas and New Year's off but depending on how the holiday falls in the week, it seems to change each year.

                When I took school agers. I always tried to work as much as possible over that week because I could make some pretty good money but now that I don't take SA'ers, the days I take off are different each.

                  I used to stay open on New Years Eve, but have found that most families don't really need it. I used to only close Christmas day and New Years Day, but I would be open for only 1 or 2 kids while there parents had free time. I was getting bitter about it. I like spending time with my family too! Now, I close and have my own free days!

                    Im closed the whole week with New Years being the only paid day.
                    My anniversary is on New Years day so I plan on always closing the whole week to celebrate with my hubby.

                        I'm closed New Years Eve/New Years Day. I'm saving my actual vacation days for this summer when its nice/warm and we can actually do something besides sit inside.

                        I am closed all Federal Holidays though and then have two weeks time to use as I wish.
                        Each day is a fresh start
                        Never look back on regrets
                        Live life to the fullest
                        We only get one shot at this!!

                            I'm open. I don't go out to celebrate during a week night so I don't feel the need to close. I don't like hosting New Year's parties for the fear of having someone be irresponsible and drink too much then leave and drive and get into an accident. I also don't like going out and driving for fear of a drunk driver. A friend of mine that was a radio station DJ was hosting a party for a radio event on New Year's and on his way home was hit by a drunk driver and we lost him. I would just rather avoid doing anything altogether now.

                              Im closed both days. This year I have dr appointments out of fear that Obamacare will ruin my medical life and insurance.
