Counting down

Just thinking - this time next week it will be Christmas Eve and I’ll be on my way to family for a few days. The office will close down over the festive period, as many do. Will yours? Just wondering how many large-format print businesses will shut-up shop for any length of time beyond the prescribed Bank Holidays - and if so, whether staff get the time off as a ‘gift’ or whether it’s compulsory for them to hold over part of their annual holiday allowance to cover the shut-down?
