Really depends on the work culture but I’d say between 20th and like 5th many offices are pretty empty, especially with WFH. Can probably add on +1 week if you can WFH or take holidays
* Going home on 15 December
* Enjoy weekend with family
* Work from home 18 to 22 December
* Enjoy weekend and bank holidays with family
* Work from home 27 to 29 December
* Enjoy NYE
* Work from home 2-3 January
* Return on 3 January
There is a lot of WFH yes, but that period is quiet anyway, and I value evenings with family as much as the rest. Plus, allows me to save annual leave days for non-family trips!
Well, going for the duration of the school holiday.
Without kids I’d definitely be gone for 3 weeks, with a week remote, 2 weeks holiday.
I’m originally from California. I typically go home for 2-3 weeks depending on the year. I can work from abroad but I’d need to work U.K. time zone so I don’t bother and just take annual leave instead.
