Break up for Christmas?

[Sherrystrull]

When does everyone break up for Christmas? We finish on 22/12 at 3.30pm and it seems so late!

Same here. 22nd. We've usually finished by now! It just doesn't feel like Christmas yet!

Do you mean school or work? My kids finish on Wednesday 20th at lunchtime, I'm taking some annual leave so will also be off from then (back in on the 27th) but my workplace doesn't close for Christmas (or for anything!) so I don't see it as breaking up for Christmas

Seems fair enough. That's 3 days before xmas

As a teacher since 1988, it’s pretty late this year, but this always happens when Christmas is a Monday…the days between breaking up and Christmas will increase over the next few years.

Are you asking a out school end of term? It's the 22nd here which seems pretty standard from what I hear from family in other parts of the country

School finishes for my DC on 22nd - very late. I finish work tomorrow 🥳

My DD's school break up on the 20th, my last day however is tomorrow - hurray!! I have 3 whole days of me time including a trip to a spa, I'm over the moon and soooo ready for it.

You've normally finished by 14th Dec?

School. I've been a teacher for a long time and it's never been this late. I was wondering if it was the same across the county.

Yep usually finished by now.

It's been a 9 week term for us in Leicestershire which is super long.

My children break up tomorrow (15th) and go back on 3rd Jan

Tomorrow for both school and my work! Back on 3rd Jan.

Teacher here, we finish tomorrow and go back on the 2nd but it's an inset day so children back on the 3rd

Same for us. I kind of like it - means they're not bouncing around at home getting bored and winding each other up as they get more and more excited. At least keeping them in school gives them a focus!

My dh finishes lunchtime on the 22nd (GP surgery) but my dc mainly work in hospitality (I have students!!) and both dd1 and ds finish at 8pm on Christmas Eve. Dd2 is a beauty therapist and her spa closes at 6 on Christmas Eve. Everyone off Christmas day but then ds and dd2 are back on boxing day. It's not pleasant being a yp working in hospitality! Dd1 gets Boxing Day off as she works in a seafood restaurant and they can't open Boxing Day as there were no boats out fishing on Christmas Day! So she gets an extra day off!

21st here for schools. Work in Supermarket, so no break here. Just 2 days off.

Teacher here... we usually finish late but I think next week being a full week makes it seem much longer to go, if that makes any sense.

Going back on the 2nd is horrific...

20th at lunch time.

We now have 2 weeks October half-term and that means Christmas is just 2 weeks now as well.

Today, must say it seems far too early

Mine break up tomorrow (2 different schools).

I break up on Wednesday lunchtime and go back the 8th Jan.

Kids finish on 19th. Back on 3rd Jan.

Our son is a teacher and he breaks up tomorrow , we are SE and lots of schools are finishing tomorrow . It’s way earlier than usual .

Mine break up tomorrow and go back on 3rd of Jan. i finished on the 21st, until the 28th.

DD1 and DS home from uni tonight. Not entirely sure when they go back.
DH has his works Christmas lunch on Wednesday 20th then off until January 8th.
DD2 finishes 2pm on Friday 22nd until January 8th.
I am self employed and finished up on the 4th for five weeks.
