The last two years I've been able to slide an early Dec. week over Christmas, and an early Nov. week over Thanksgiving. Both were weeks I couldn't hold in the initial vac. bid run.
June, July and Aug are still going to be all gone after Round 1 though, so it's impossible to get both a Dec. week and a Summer week unless you are very senior in category.
