Here's how you can get the maximum amount of days off this Christmas

Here's how to get a 13-day Christmas break using just six holidays days

Here's how you can get the maximum amount of days off this Christmas

The kids are back to school, the weather warnings are rife and Brown Thomas has opened its Christmas shop - which only means one thing, it’s time for a holiday.

And just so happens, we’ve found a clever way of stretching your precious days of annual leave a bit further.

If you’ve landed yourself a lovely 9-5 Monday to Friday ‘office’ job, you may have bagged yourself these days off already but for those of us working shifts and not weekends, listen up.

As Christmas Day and New Year's day both fall on a Wednesday this year, you could leave the office on Friday, December 20 and not return until Thursday, Jan 2 2020.

All you need to do is book off Friday, Dec 20, Monday, Dec 23, Tuesday, Dec 24, Friday, Dec 27, Monday 30, Tuesday, Dec 31.

That's 13 days off for six days holidays. You can thank us later.
