Oh yes, I can see why I am not used to that acronym ..... We have to take holiday out of our allowance :/ so kinda the same thing, but I see it as enforced Holiday ...
Same here, I had 10 days left and could either carry 5 over, or take them all before jan. I figured with office closure etc, i could stretch 10 days out into 3 weeks incl weekends etc. So I dont have to go back to the office until 3rd Jan
