Because there are some activities that take place right at the end of the year, around 29/30 December-awards for instance, best player, best goalkeeper, best performer, etc. so, since I like these, I have to be available or make sure, within limits, to be available till I wrap things up nicely before 31 December so I can then still celebrate.

I rarely hear from my clients during the last two weeks of December.

But others don't, and I made sure I had plenty to do over Christmas and the New Year. Maybe a little too much, even.

End clients in particular tend to show up around this time. Imagine someone who has to get paperwork done but is always too busy, and finally has a vacation of a few days - and then with the new year looming they see they still haven't done it.

And I myself try to slow down and unwind as well.

Happy New Year. May 2020 start your way off right into the "golden 20's".

I work mostly for the EU Institutions and they will be closed from 24.12.2019 until 02.01.2020 (inclusive). Work from my other customers is extremely irregular during this season but they know that I'll be available for them.

Happy New Year to you all!
