Waiting biopsy results

Hey I had a biopsy 2 weeks ago, was told last week that the biopsy was sent for a histology test and would take 2-3 weeks. I still haven't heard anything and with it being Christmas Eve I'm pretty certain it will be the new year before I hear. Is it a good or bad thing to firsts need this test done and having to wait on results or is this all normal? 
 

any advice or past experience would be greatly appreciated. 
 

thanks Colm
