Default Suggestions for "gap-filler" routine?

I'm currently doing Hypertrophy I, lifting 4x per week. I'm in the third week now, and planning on taking off the week of Thanksgiving, which will put me at finishing the 6 week program on December 7. I'm also planning on taking off the week of Christmas, and probably most of the week of New Year's, and then planning on starting Hypertrophy III the following week. I'd rather start up H3 fresh from a break, and during a week where I know I can make it in 4x for sure.

So, I'll have 2 weeks between the end of H1 and Christmas where I'll be "between programs." Has anyone run into this situation before? I'm wondering what would be a good filler workout for those 2 weeks. I'm debating either doing H1 for another 2 weeks or maybe doing FL1 for 2 weeks. Suggestions anyone??
