As each year winds down and draws to a close, in many parts of the world people spend their winter
vacations with family, friends, and loved ones. Schools are on break for a couple of weeks, many
businesses and institutions in various countries are closed for the holidays, and employees enjoy
extended time off from mid-December until after the first week of January when regular activities
resume.
