        I was under an incorrect assumption, looked it up. Coulda swore some nation had a week long holiday for a national celebration…

          Japan has Golden Week. China usually shuts down entirely for their New Years. Several European countries have multi-week holiday periods in the summer. It’s definitely a thing outside America.

      Christmas is a week off. Easter is a week off.

        Maybe for some lucky folks. I get Christmas Day. If the boss is feeling generous hey may let us leave early on Christmas Eve. We’re off for Easter, but since we’re closed on Sunday anyway it’s not actually a holiday.
