I have it in my contract that I'm closed Dec 24, 25 & 26 then 31st as well.

Christmas is split between two families for us so it's lunch on the 24th at one side, dinner with another and my side on the 25th. So no I'm not watching someone and these are part of my "paid" days. I addded Christmas eve, New Years eve and Easter Monday to my paid days. Otherwise if I'm closed they don't pay.

The way it works this year it means I'd only be open for two days 27 & 28......I'll leave it up to the parents since I'll be home anyways. We'll see.....
