Americans take the least vacations globally. We also get the least amount of time off.

And then Christmas this year is on a Wednesday. Ugh.
Yeah, we get a Winter Break overlapping with Christmas and New Years, but I also have a sabbatical this year that I'm wrapping around Thanksgiving too, so I'm off I think starting 11/15 and not back until 1/6? Something like that.
Meanwhile my wife gets 2 days each for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Any other paid time she has to request 3 months in advance.
So, yeah, we're kind of stuck. And it's not like I can go "OK, headed to Vegas! See you in a week!" Well, not if I want to STAY married... :)
Most companies in my country close down from Dec 24 - Jan 2. Some even earlier.
