Are you about to take a vacation at the end of the year and would you like to truly rest from work in the family circle?

Do not send e-mails on the last day before leaving on vacation
The more emails you send the more likely you will receive answers with other tasks to do.
Prepare your office for your absence
Clean your desk so that your colleagues know where to find what they need.
Thank those who remain
Find a way to thank your people for coming to work between holidays.
Clearly define work procedures
Anyone who will stand in for you should know how to do the particular work.
Declare your absence in advance
Tell it not only to your superiors and subordinates but also to your clients who could contact you in the time when you are on vacation.
Try your absence in advance
Ask your colleagues to behaved as if you were not already in the office for a few days. Then call a meeting to evaluate what succeeded and what needs to be further improved.
Do not contact the office during your vacation
If an acute problem occurs, your colleagues would call you. Act as the example for others and create a culture in which everyone can afford a real vacation.
