As time is ticking on 2012's last days, French President Francois Hollande would keep working at the Elysee Place to prepare for next year's bitter challenges of economic woes and social strains, local media reported.
With no flashy schedule for Christmas holidays, "Mr. Normal" "will come everyday to the Elysee but he will make an exception on Tuesday to feast Christmas with his family," the local broadcaster Europe1 said, citing a close president's adviser.
"I do not wish you happy holidays, because you're not supposed to take them," Hollande told his ministers during recent cabinet meeting.
The Socialist candidate beat the former conservative president Nicolas Sarkozy in May on promises to restore public finances, provide jobs and guarantee social welfare.
Unfortunately, record high unemployment claims and limp economy clouded his short honeymoon. His approval ratings has plunged from 60 percent to 36 percent, the fastest decline of any France's top official.
