The schools here this year have a *very* short break. DD and
DS were in school all day on Friday the 23rd (!!) and they
return on Wednesday the 3rd.

I think this is just the right size (we don't travel for
the holidays). Next year they go back to 2+ full weeks.

My kids got out forever ago (Dec 16th). Grammar school goes back the 3rd,
high school the 4th. And they both get a 4 day weekend for MLK, and a week
in Feb and April.
