As an escort, the holidays are one of the busiest times of the year for me. Wondering how it is in your industry / line of work & how do you feel about it.

This year, I get sabbatical and it’s wrapped around the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years holidays.
I’ve been off since 11/15, go back to work 1/2.
Sabbatical? That sounds like a normal holiday. 😵
i am currently unemployed, so it’s rather slow in my industry ;)
if you don’t mind me asking, do people book you in between family festivities? or what kind of customers/jobs keep you busy at this time?
Depends. Currently I’m abroad with a client and his family at his holiday home until January. Him and his wife are together only on paper & he wants company on vacation. Doesn’t date because he wants as little stress and strings + as straightforward as possible. Besides the current situation people tend to have time off, money to spend at the end of the year and the wish to have some fun due to the atmosphere - combine everything and you get a market more active than usual.
I work for a school district so I’m off from Dec 20 thru Jan 5, but i don’t get paid for any of it.
Hi, not an escort here but curious.
Why are the holidays busy? Lots of people looking for company?
Or are you a date to family events where SOs are expected but someone doesn’t have one?
I used the last of my leave days for the work mandated time off between Christmas and New Years Day. We have plenty, but I used so much for holiday and activism. So I haven’t taken the customary full two weeks off and will be back at the office on 2 Jan. Don’t mind it, I like the quiet office.

I got screwed over about vacation in the summer and wasn’t able to go, so I’m taking 3 weeks off.
It’s the slowest part of the year. Most people are on holidays including myself. Even better by connecting weekends and public holidays I’ll have a 16 day holiday while spending only 6 days.
I am the chef at a high-end assisted living facility. Before that, I was a caterer. It’s also the busiest time of year for me.
Y’all get holidays?
Everyone gets a 2 week break around Christmas and New Years. I work intermittently on stuff that has to get done, like payroll, but otherwise rest and hang out with my family.
The same as every single other day of the year, since I’m my own boss and set my own schedule.
The company I work for has few fixed holidays, but lots of discretionary time off, and very little direct customer service, so it’s an individual choice. Many people take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I don’t; I’d rather have extra time off when the weather is warmer and I can play outside.
I’m technically always at work, including when eating Christmas dinner, or sleeping, or now while I’m on the porcelain throne.
But it’s not too bad. I just have to be available, and it’s rare that something happens that it can’t wait a little while. And often it’s something that is relatively quick to deal with.
I fixed a bug in a perl script while cooking Christmas dinner, that’s all that’s happened this holiday season.
