When you are a professor at a PUI, you are constantly giving giving giving of yourself to your students. It's the best job in the world, but, particularly for introverts like me, by the end of the semester you can feel like you've been sucked dry.
Some of my PUI friends get five weeks off for winter break. I know a few that barely get two weeks.
Winter break is important. You need to rest. Get recharged. Brace yourself for the spring semester.
Is there such a thing as too much winter break? ....and what is the humane lower limit for time off of school?

No, provided that it doesn't get so excessive that summer break is intolerably short.
I'm in the 2 weeks off crowd, and it's just not enough. Not enough at all.
Our university is only closed for a week between Christmas and New Years. Granted, the time between when classes end and when they begin again is over 2 weeks. Still not enough.
