...is it common for people in the northern hemisphere to not get time off school during winter?

Often a week or two around Christmas time. When I was in school 30 years ago, we got nothing.

But summer vacation was 3 months long.

Kids here get a week off in October near Halloween then two weeks around Christmas.

They get two weeks around Easter which would be your equivalent I suppose from a seasonal perspective.
