Exactly that.
Doing a lot of commercial or contractual window cleaning means Christmas is the busiest time for me having jobs that are weekly,fortnightly and monthly and the Christmas holidays make it much harder to fit work in with lost days
.A lot of my monthly work is carried out from around the 12th with loads due at the end f the month.
I can pull jobs forward a day or two but that's about it will finish xmas eve then back in Monday or Tuesday if I'm lucky.

I dont like working between crimbo and new year, same way i dont like working bank holidays, it feels a bit envasive to me, most people are chilling out with a week off work with their family and friends, it just feels awkward to me.
