All of the businesses that I have worked for now give us either the Friday before the holiday or Monday after if it falls on a weekend.
Yes, me too. And this year I got Christmas Monday and New Years Monday (today!) off. But we do have a technical support department that is open on some holidays as well; I am not sure if they have Christmas off or not. I am just glad I don't work in that department.
Some retail stores around here are open on Christmas Day, and many more on New Year's. Walgreens (local druggist/pharmacy/chemist), for example, was open on the 25th. Which of course means that they had to have employees there! I am *really* glad I don't work there.
