Hey Cher! The main holidays in that time of year are 1. Christmas Day (25th December) and 2. New Years Day (1st January). Everyone (well most people) get those two days off, but most people tend to take holidays around those days. For example, last week I took two weeks holiday off work which included both Christmas and New Years. Unlike in China, we dont have 'set' holidays as such. We have single days, occasionally two in a row, but never things like a full week or two of set holidays. Instead, we have holidays that slowly build with time, and we can take them whenever we wish, as long as we have enough holiday time saved up, and it is okay'ed by our work place.

Cher, it's still too early to talk about Christmas Day now. Or are you talking about the unclaimed Christmas Day off last year?

It depends on what your job is, i think usually most people only have Christmas Eve and Christmas day off.
