I work in an office setting with "use it or lose it" vacation time. I usually save a week plus going into fall, just in case I get sick (there's personal time also but I just lump it all together). If I don't use it, I take the last week of the year off.
Working in an office can be great though--so many people out, can get some work done! Then again, traffic can be brutal, if one has to drive past a mall--I swear, traffic was worse after Christmas than before!
