If I'm spending time with my folks I find I trade tech support for pie and cinnamon rolls. Honestly, it's pretty great :)

I don't take vacations, I don't need those. I got plenty of work to do like finishing some cool new stuff for twist.moe, finish some animes and netflix shows that I have started but couldn't finish and yea that's all I guess.

I am going to be spending a whole bunch of time with my family, largely away from the internet.

It's gonna be pretty good.

I always take vacations in Christmas so I always spend it with my family, eating, receiving and giving gifts and just having lots of fun with them. To me Christmas is the most important time of the year because I always have a lot of fun and I hope this year is the same!!

:D

I go to work to let the people with kids and close, big families spend time with them. Our only mandatory days off are Dec 25th and Jan 1st, so I don't want to take all that PTO just to sit at home reading dev.to when there's going to be no work so I'll be reading dev.to in the office.

Which works until we have expectations to complete .4x the amount of work as normal when functionally there's only 1 QA in the office and 2 devs WFH the whole sprint. And those devs aren't the same the whole time, so it ends up being mostly people half finishing work then passing it on to someone else while I'm waiting for something to test.
