In America, the Christmas holiday is what it says: a holiday to observe Christmas. If it happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday, tough. See you at work Monday morning.
*boggle* Where in the world did they get THAT information?
Granted, I haven't worked in too many places. The McJob closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas days. My other two part time jobs were either school related, or I wasn't around because of school (went home for the holiday). My current job will close Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. If one or both of the days fall on the weekend, they pick another day to have off. If it's Sat/Sun, Christmas Eve is observed on Friday, and Christmas Day is observed on Monday. This year, Christmas Eve was observed on Monday and Christmas Day on Tuesday.
At least for the rest of the company. Alas, Technical Support is open 24/7/365. It used to tick me off when they'd send out emails to customers, "Our offices are closed for the holidays so that our employees can spend it with their families. However, Technical Support will continue to be open." As if we didn't have families. I think enough people griped, because it's no longer worded like that.
