So as an employee of a very large religious organization, l get the entire period from December 22 to January 2 off, with pay even.
I have no desire to sit here on my ass that entire time but likewise have no real idea of how to occupy myself for that long without requiring bail money.
Suggestions? Open your imaginations.
I also get a similar block off - not from a religious organization but a university that closes most buildings during the holiday break. It is the only vacation I have taken in... years. So I am always happy to have a week to decompress.
