I wonder how many of us can take that kind of time off work. Or how much
it

Ok, 17th Dec to 25th Dec - nine days, just like now,
but the nine darkest days of the year.

I don't think my kids would have liked going back to school on the day after
Christmas. In fact, I don't think I'd like it, going back to work on boxing
day, either.

I'm OK with the way it is now, thankyouverymuch. :-)
