Do you take time off or do you work through to prep for the upcoming year?

I slow down at the end of the year. I hate the holiday rush. I was going to work the resell business through Christmas this year because funds were a little tight. I was ecstatic when the crypto market started to rally.
With eBay, I generally just fill orders that are purchased and not do any new listings for the month. Anytime I've gotten a negative on eBay has been around the holidays. People expecting miracles and ordering a few days before Christmas expecting it to be on time. Stuff that was out of my hands. So, I might lose some money, but I gain peace of mind and less aggravation through an already stressful season.
I also organize. Straighten out the desk and office. Right after the first of the year I do crypto taxes, then back to business as usual with trading and daily reselling.
That's a smart personal and business strategy. Save yourself the grief and enjoy the holiday more.
My office shuts over Xmas and new year. Most people take some extra days, but I perfer to take mine at other times.
Enjoy the holidays!

I can understand taking holidays at other times of the year. I'm a fan of off-season travel. I typically stay away from the vacation rush hour times of the year. I'd rather be in a less crowded and more relaxed vacation experience.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. :-D
The week between Christmas and New Years I slow down. There are some things I must keep up with for some of my clients. However, I only do the necessary during that time, so only 1-2 hours each day. Before then, however, I want to be sure everything is ready to start the new year.
Last year I had a client decide to create a holiday livestream right before and right after Christmas. It threw the idea of a relaxing holiday out the door. It was however an especially enlightening experience. I learned so much from the content the client created. Things that impacted my business this past year in a big way. So while at the time it was a frenzied holiday season, what came from that has changed the trajectory of my business and therefore my family.
This year I am having a much quieter holiday season. Client projects began winding down towards the end of November. This month I wrapped up a deliverable and am maintaining a weekly podcast for a client. So a much more relaxing experience. I'll admit I've been a bit lost without the constant work pressure. BUT, after a few weeks of aimless wandering, I've finally hit an epiphany: This is the time I'm always asking God for or wishing that I had. You know the, "One day when I have time..." type of moments. This is it. So, today I've approached the day with a new zest. Lots of those "somedays" are being put into the planning stages. All good things.
