Subject: Extended Christmas Holiday Leave Request

Dear [Manager's Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request an extended leave period for the Christmas holidays, specifically from [start date] to [end date], which extends beyond our standard holiday schedule.

This extended time off will allow me to visit family members who live overseas, something I only have the opportunity to do once a year. The additional time is necessary to make the long journey worthwhile and to spend meaningful time with relatives I rarely see.

I have planned well in advance to ensure minimal impact on our department:

- All major projects will be completed by [date]

- [Colleague's name] has agreed to cover my responsibilities

- I will complete a comprehensive handover document

- Critical contacts have been notified of my extended absence

I am willing to work additional hours before my departure to ensure all deadlines are met. I understand this request requires advance planning and approval, and I am happy to discuss any concerns you may have.

Thank you for considering this request. I believe this time away will help me return more motivated and productive.

Warm regards,

Subject: Christmas Leave Request - Short Notice

Hi [Manager's Name],

I realize this is very short notice, but I need to request time off for Christmas from [date] to [date]. An unexpected opportunity has arisen for me to join my family for the holidays, and I would hate to miss this chance.

I know the timing isn't ideal, and I take full responsibility for not planning this earlier. I'm committed to doing whatever it takes to minimize any disruption:

I can work late this week to finish pending tasks, arrange coverage with team members, and be available by phone if anything urgent comes up. I understand if this creates challenges, and I'm open to discussing alternatives if this timing doesn't work.

I really appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Please let me know if we can make this work.

Thanks,

Dear [Supervisor's Name],

As we approach the Christmas season, I wanted to formally request time off from [start date] to [end date] to celebrate our baby's first Christmas with extended family.

This will be our child's first Christmas, and we're eager to establish new family traditions while introducing our little one to relatives who haven't yet had the chance to meet them. The holiday season holds special significance for us this year as we navigate this new chapter of our lives.

I have coordinated with [colleague's name] to ensure coverage of my responsibilities, and all time-sensitive projects will be completed before my departure. I've also prepared detailed notes for any ongoing matters that may require attention.

I understand the importance of staffing during the holiday period and am happy to discuss the timing if adjustments are needed. Thank you for your consideration and for supporting new parents in creating meaningful family memories.

Best wishes,

Subject: Modified Christmas Schedule Request

Hello [Manager's Name],

Instead of taking full days off, I'd like to request a modified work schedule during the Christmas period from [date range]. I'm hoping to work reduced hours - perhaps half days or specific days of the week - to balance holiday commitments with work responsibilities.

This arrangement would allow me to participate in family Christmas activities while maintaining some presence in the office during our busy season. I'm thinking something like:

- Working mornings only from [dates]

- Taking [specific days] off while working normal hours other days

- Working remotely for part of this period

I believe this compromise would meet both personal and professional needs while ensuring adequate coverage for our team. I'm flexible on the exact arrangement and welcome your input on what might work best for our department.

Please let me know if this type of schedule modification is possible. I'm happy to discuss different options that work for everyone.

Thanks for considering this request.

Best,

I am fully prepared to take this leave without compensation and understand the financial implications of this decision. The time off will allow me to [brief explanation of reason - family obligations, personal matters, etc.].
