Nice and quiet here, ideal to get a good load done!
I prefer celebrating according to my own personal calendar

I just have too much to do and when I was visiting my relatives, just did not get anything done. But now I am back home, enjoy New Years eve and the normal daily routine carries on tomorrow!!

I agree both with Michael Harris and Interlangue... when I was at my in-laws for Christmas I didn't get enough work done and now that I am back home I can catch up, work at my usual rhythm and celebrate whatever I feel, whenever I want to (or at least, that's what I like to say... Ultimately it isn't work that shapes the "holidays" anyhow, it is more my two year-old with coughs and fevers!)

I voted "Other", as to say "Yes" would sound like I was working throughout the holidays, which isn't true. I am working a little, but really very little by comparison to recent weeks. My availability is far more limited, and there has been very little in the way of work, anyway. I've written a couple of invoices and done two short jobs, and that's about it.
Happy New Year, everyone!

| Work if I've got Work | Dec 31, 2009 |
This is a good question.
I don't think I'm going to be working at midnight tonight - New Year's Eve! But will I be working today and tomorrow? Sure, if there's work around.
I visualise the month and year ahead rather like an artist does, as though it were a blank canvas that needs to be filled. At the moment I can't tell you which parts will be filled and which will not.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

This poll is a little late, since the holidays are officially over after tomorrow! I've worked a little during the holidays, but not much. Anyway, a very happy 2010 to all my ProZ colleagues!

My children have holidays too these days, so it would be a pity to be working at the computer while everybody else is relaxing, having fun, playing with fireworks, enjoying a good dinner, etc.
Happy New Year Greetings to all of you!!! ▲ Collapse

but yes, I am working today and tomorrow, and worked a few hours each day over the holidays.
I have a deadline on the 6th, and another on the 4th.

I did work through the holidays last year, right to the 27th. The early half of the month was really quiet and i needed the work, so i told my clients i'd be available. I'm single with no kids so I can spare the time. However, nothing materialized this year and most of them seem to be on holiday, so the holidays this year have been really quiet, work wise. I haven't minded that much, having some time off. However the holidays are over after the weekend! Most people are returning to work on monda...

i agree the poll is late but i suggested it over a week ago, before xmas for sure. I figured they'd have nixed it by now.

| At a leisurely pace! | Dec 31, 2009 |
I like Richard's comment and work if there is work to be done, but I am certainly not going to break a leg in the process of finishing it.
Feeling quite relaxed and mellow after a nice little holiday at my daughter.
May you all have a good New Year, balancing family life with work harmoniously!

| Meaning of holidays? | Dec 31, 2009 |
Usually it takes several weeks/months between a poll submission and its displaying. Was the person who asked this question really refering to the end of 2009?
Anyway, I answered "other" because I consider that "holidays" and "work" are antonyms. If I am on holiday, I don't work; and if I work, I am not on holiday.

I had to work this holidays, but I'm taking some time off after all the people leave the beaches just for myself.

I will have my holidays when trips are inexpensive and when everyone else is working!
