Holidays

I'm a first year art teacher in The Netherlands, I started in the beginning of September. Before the Christmas Holidays I was really trough it, tired and a lot of stress from all kinds of things which did not go to plan or which I had to organize and do. So I decided to do no work this holidays, so I could feel rested and regain some energy. Now two weeks later and having to start again on Wednesday I feel anxious to go back on Wednesday, I know it is temporary and once I'm in the flow of things I will be fine.

I was just wondering how you all deal with holidays, do you guys prepare things for classes and work so going back is less overwhelming, or do you do nothing for work at all.
