Am 90% out.
The prospect of taking my bike and all my kit back to the 'rents for rides on 24th and 26th, the former of which looks like proper shithouse weather, seems more hassle than it's worth.
So gonna treat myself to a proper Xmas break and ride a lot up til New Year, but without constantly having a 500k target and forcing myself out in shit weather or when feeling fatigued. For example, it's gonna be ace weather down here tomorrow so might as well go out for a nice ride then, rather than piss about in a storm on Xmas eve just to start getting the miles in.
If i was staying in London and didn't have to piss about dragging my bike around the country i'd probaby give it a bash though tbf, and definitely do a ride on loads of usually busy roads on xmas morning.
