We start with ten days vacation and five days sick/personal. We earn one more day vacacation and 1/2 more day sick/personal per year up to I think ten years with the company. Saturday is my four year anniversary, so that will put me at 14 days vacation and 7 days sick/personal. That plus 11 holidays (including birthday, which we have to use within a week of our birthday).

We get two holidays at Christmas, two at New Years, and I usually take 4-5 vacation days at that time. Add my birthday holiday that I throw in at that time (my birthday is Dec 19), and I take about two weeks to hunt in late December.
