I also take off good friday. And don't forget to give yourself some to be announced vacation time as well or you will burn yourself out in no time. Looks good though.

Looks good. I also close MLK Day & PRes. Day. As the previous poster mentioned, be sure you have something in there that also states you will also take 2 weeks of vacation time off & will give ample notice of such dates.

I take Veteran's Day and MLK Day as well but our schools are closed those days too. If you have kids in school, you may want to check the school calendars for the winter holidays because with Christmas and New Year's being on Sundays, the schedule may be different. For example I really can't take Jan 2nd off because our schools are back open that day and 5 of my 12 parents work for the schools.

So are you taking the Friday before New Year's instead?

I'm actually closed the week between Christmas and New Years so it won't affect me at all. I just wanted to metion it since it may be an issue for other families.
