December Break Announcement
Hello everyone. I will be taking another oddly-timed break this month, starting today, because my partner's father has unexpectedly passed away. We will need to take a trip to assist with ordering his affairs. It's possible that this break may be longer than a week, but I don't anticipate it and will inform you if I need to do so. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

my condolences, I hope you both are able to take the time to mourn and deal
Oh no! Condolences and take all the time you need!
Condolences for you and your partner.
When my father passed away 2 years ago there was quite a lot to do (from the obit all the way to writing thank you cards to all the people who helped along the way); to say nothing of the emotional side, processing plus navigating with others. Internet hugs to you & your partner.
I hope u take as much time as you need, something like that can be more than stressful. You could take another year off and it would be totally okay
Seconding the "take your time." This doesn't exactly sound like a 'break', so taking an actual break week off once the initial stressors and Life Things to deal with have settled would be entirely reasonable.
What Lucy said, sounds like you guys have a lot of mourning and affair-ordering work to do before you can actually take a break so while it may not be as jolly as one might hope, a winter holiday seems entirely in order for you both.
