Thinking about taking a vacation in between Christmas and New Year’s?  Working may not be as bad as you think!  According to a recent report, only 64% of U.S. employees are planning on working that week, and an even smaller 56% of the labor force is actually coming into the office.   As a result, working that week can actually be relatively stress-free.  A survey polling over 12,000 employees determined that just 39% of U.S. respondents anticipate doing much work at all.

Many people report that they actually enjoy this week.  It gives them some time to catch up and get organized before the New Year.  Plus, you can save your vacation days for a time of the year when travel amenities are less expensive and popular destinations are less crowded.  Working between Christmas and New Year’s is not for everyone, but it’s certainly worth considering!
