We went back on the 2nd last year and the year before (teachers did, not students) and I HATED it!!!!
Especially the year the 1st was on a Sunday, so everyone else had the 2nd off as part of the holiday. That sucked!
But last year, they allowed teachers to voice their opinions (sent to principals who sent to school board) about days off, half day inservices, etc, and they listened and even though we get out closer to Christmas, we don't start back on Jan 2. I might actually get to see the Rose Bowl parade this year!!
Her last day of school is the 21st. Its a full day but its a school dance that afternoon so not much academic work. Then she goes back on the Monday the 7th.

There's a school around here (middle, of course) that does dances during the school day, too.
