Two years ago I had to work until seven.

Last year I was on vacation in Canada.

This year probably will work it.

But it's way more relaxed at that time of year compared to the retail job I had to work all through the holidays back in university.

In Korea, hereabouts anyways, December 25th looks like any other day, but quieter.

Better than having it fall on the weekend so you get a 3 day weekend and lose 2 days entirely.

Actually it's the next two years, but I work at a university so don't really care.
