That's fair enough! I am lucky because I get eight days off over Christmas, including Christmas Day etc. The downside is that we cannot take our holidays when we like, ie during term time. That means if we are going away, we have to go in peak priced periods. Also, people think we get all of the school holidays off but we don't. As college lecturers, we get a certain number of days annual leave plus Bank Holidays and that leave must be taken when students are not in college but it doesn't cover all the holidays. Often, when the students are on half-term or summer holidays, we are planning courses, doing research, writing reports or even cleaning out cupboards!
