I could technically work the week between it and New Years, but nobody else will be there, so I'm basically forced to take vacation days at work or be sitting around getting nothing done because there is noone to answer questions or code review.
A few times, I've gone visit a orthodox Jewish friend of mine that week just to avoid sitting at home doing nothing. She home schools her son, and they actually make a point to do ordinary schoolwork that day.

If you look at new releases - - the books specifically marketed to today's children - - they're almost all aimed at girls. Most of the exceptions are chapter books about other media (like Bluey or Paw Patrol).
