I'm not based in the US, but US companies outsourcing to my location that I worked for did find the concept foreign. I make a point out of taking the last two weeks of the year off, but I could stretch it to three, because my manager takes this much, so it's not like he would be waiting for me with something anyway. I'm also planning on taking a whole month off should I become a father of a second child. I took two weeks for the first one and in hindsight it was not enough. A (male) friend of mine took six and the only thing holding me back from doing the same are finances, since as a contractor I have a daily rate.
