TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice regarding their upcoming appointment on December 7th for a 2-month visa extension in Thailand, which falls on a holiday. Responses emphasize the importance of going before the holiday to avoid overstaying, clarify that December 7th is not a closure day for immigration, and suggest going earlier or on that specific date.

You can go next business day after holiday.

And I would say more: you can go any day before Jan 30th to get the second stamp but I would not risk just in case if police stop you somewhere.

Sadly

you have a piss poor understanding of how the process works :/

The O/P has an under consideration stamp (meaning they applied for the 60 day extension and they were given a stamp that tells them to show up in 14 days) they can't go any day before Jan 30th, they show up ON THAT DAY and they will get the rest of their 60 day extension put in their passport.
