Which winter break is best?

[Anonymous]

A. Early Two weeks (December 18-January 1)
B. Later Two weeks (December 25-January 5)
C. Moderate winter break (December 21 or 22-January 1 or 2)
D. Short winter break (December 25-January 1)

Note: Next year Christmas and New Years Day are on Wednesdays so all two week breaks will be the same two weeks.

We have C and I like it.

I would hate A because I find that everyone relaxes more after Christmas. No more excitement about Santa or gifts, everyone has something new to read and cozy things to wear and we usually have a new game or two to play. Pre-Christmas is fun too, we bake and cook and do activities out if the house. But I don't want 7 days of that. I want to get to laying around listening to music and relaxing, and that's always an easier sell after Christmas.

Same. My kids have been off the wall this week.

We have C, and it’s good. My next choice would be D, although my kids would hate it.

If we had to go longer, I would prefer B so we could do something after the craziness of Christmas with family when travel prices are cheaper.

Your dates are off for next year. I’d prefer the last day of school to be Friday December 20th, go back January 6th. Cheaper travel. I am a teacher FWIW

C is good for us this year.

Now imagine being a teacher and having 25 instances of this at once.

All I know is this year sucks. Too short and broken up.

The dates were applying to this year it's only a heads up that the two 2 week options will turn into one for next year
(actually the next 3 years until Christmas gets back to Saturday in 2027-28)
