I suggest Christmas dates to be 21st to 28th, that'll be my busy time, but if you have a preferred window please say so.

For me it includes 31st and 1st of January

That's fine by me. Let's just agree not to issue time warnings between 21st and the 2nd, while trying to move if we have time. That ok with you?

Yes, good idea
