    I don't know about you getting home for Christmas....but the way it works normally is that you are out with your trainer for about 3 weeks. If he takes hometime and doesn't live near you, you will either go into a hotel or go home with him. Then after you upgrade you have to run 2 weeks before you get to go home (they kinda neglect to tell you this in the beginning).

    From the time I left home for Orientation it was 6 weeks before I got home.

    You would have to ask the company you work for. It's all different and depends on whether they can get you home or not. I think most companies at least "try" to get their drivers home for major holidays.
