    If by work you mean, exerting a force upon an object to displace it, then yes... I work almost every day.

    To be honest I don't mind that much either, today's been quite good fun and mainly involved eating and playing pool.

    Snot.

    I never take the week between Christmas and New Years off although I could.

    There is no one around...I pretty much come in when I want, leave when I want, charge my client 8 hours and go home.

    It is almost like being on vacation but you don't get charged vacation time for it.

    I didn't have to, but came back for today and tomorrow because I was tired of sitting around the house doing nothing. :-\

    Re: Do you have to work between Christmas and new year?

    never book these three days off as it is a waste of holidays. I'll only sit in the house and do nothing but at least I can be in work and sit around doing nothing and get paid for it!

    Besides, it's a great time to catch up on work I've been putting off (especially university work) as there are absolutely no interruptions
