personally i have never been a fan of that answer and always thought it was more about cost savings and organizing holidays so that it a) meet min statutory holidays requirements and b) a way to make sure all the teams did it at the same time so they didnt have to worry that the others were still developing while they were at home with the wife and kids.
getting time at home with the family and recharging of the batteries is just a bonus imo.
so i do agree with Razzzor though. the break is excessive. sure people deserve to have time with their families but they also have a choice to pick a profession that allows for that. most people i know have to make do with less then 3 weeks a year and almost are never allowed to take it all at the same time.
