Make the most of your vacation days

Want to get the most out of your vacation days next year?

Someone on Twitter‘s done the heavy lifting for you!

  • In January, take the Thursday and Friday before Martin Luther King Day to get five days off in a row
  • In April, take off the full week before Easter…if your company’s closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday, you’ll use just four vacation days but have a 10-day break
  • In July, take off Monday, July 3rd to have four days off
  • Next November, take the full week after Veterans Day off and the three days before Thanksgiving…you’ll use up eight vacation days but have 17 days off (that’ll also work for this year, if you’re not too late!)
  • Next December, take off the four workdays between Christmas and New Year’s to have 10 days off in a row

Now, of course, this won’t work for everyone but it’s never too early to think about it, right?
