Have you returned to work after the festive season and jealous of the warm days and blue skies you're missing outside? 

The post Christmas blues can get anyone down, well here's something to make you smile. We've sat down with the 2022 calendar, marked all the public holidays and worked out a few tricks to get the most out of your annual leave this year.

2022 Moreton Bay Public Holidays 

Extend your holidays

Use your annual leave conservatively and take an extra day or two either side of a public holiday to take your long weekend into a mini holiday.

We've done the hard work for you below and calculated how to make the most out of the big festive times of the year, but don't forget there is still Labour Day (2nd May), Ekka Holiday (8th August) and Queen's birthday (3rd October) as other opportunities to get a sneaky extra long weekend with a day or two of annual leave either side of the long weekend.

Australia Day

Public holiday: Wednesday 26th January

Annual Leave to take: Thursday 27th and Friday 28th January

Achievement unlocked: By taking only two days of annual leave, combined with the weekend, you actually have a five day break! 

Easter

Public Holidays: Friday 15th April - Monday 18th April and Monday 25th April

Annual Leave to take: Tuesday 19th April - Friday 22nd April

Achievement unlocked - By taking the four annual leave days after Easter holidays you then link up with the Anzac Day long weekend and receive eleven days off for only four annual leave days! 

Christmas

Public Holidays: Sunday 25th - Tuesday 27th December

Annual leave to take: 28th - 30th December 

Achievement unlocked: Christmas this year falls on a weekend, so after the public holidays, take just three days of annual leave before the New Year's long weekend and you unlock ten days of leave for only three days of annual leave.
