We have 10 days off since 31st December 2021 to 9th January 2022. Banks won't be working and everything will be stopped excepting all sort of entertainments (restaurants, pubs, shops, brothels, parks, museums, clubs etc will be working as usually or even more), but the financial life will be almost stopped.

Do you know how many days off we officially have in a year? 118 days. Now add here a minimal yearly vacation which is 28 calendar days...

try not to go crazy and not become an alcoholic with such a work mode, when 1/3 of a year you don't work and have at least 142 paid days off, guaranteed by the federal law (some categories like medics, teachers etc have even longer vacations).
