I was in OKC last year through the holidays. We had off for Thanksgiving but had to return on Friday for a day of class. We didn't find out until Christmas Eve that the president had declared the following day a holiday so we had a four day weekend. We got a whole 15 minutes early on Christmas Eve and that was only because some really nice instructors let us go knowing they could get in trouble.

New Years Day, President's Day and Martin Luther King Jr. day were the only other days off we had. We did get 2 days off for a snow storm-I was on night shift that week and the morning shift had to go in the first day. They were released early due to the declining weather. Don't expect weather days though-it really screws up the flow of class.

If you do get stuck in OKC for the holidays, it's a great time to spend making new friends. Your classmates in OKC will be the ones that you remain closet to at your facility. I spent x-mas with 2 of co-workers and although I didn't have gifts to open or family to share my day with, I had a great meal and company. Despite OKC not being the best place in the country to be stuck for 5 months, it was one of the best times of my life.
