-Removed-Well, Christmas Day and New Year's Day are national holidays usually here in Indonesia (falling a week apart obviously) and that, plus the proximity of weekends, has often resulted in many people taking some leave and/or taking a sickie or two and so creating a 'holiday period' of sorts.
With no national holidays this year (both big days falling on already-a-day-off Sundays) the Xmas-Twixmas-NY period is passing in a slightly atypically very everything-is-as-usual kind of way, and this more or less goes for me too.

Puke.
Living in Limbo - waiting for the next booze-fest!
Unfortunately wife returned to work today.
Picking her up later for a last minute scan as baby is not growing as fast as she should.
Personally I don't think there is room for her to grow any more!
Anyway - docs may decide to whip her out a month early depending on what
this scan reveals. So I may have another daughter before the New Year.
(What a crappy time for a birthday!!)
In Australia - land of the long weekend - we get "substituted public holidays" whenever they land on a Saturday or Sunday. So this year "Twixmas" runs an extra 2 days, from 24 December to 2 January (10 straight days off work for most people). Some workplaces open for the 3 possible workdays (Wednesday to Friday) but most people take those days off, since it's summer here. 🙂
