So this is a small rant on the state of holidays in the US of A. If I here one more person complain about Christmas being a 'religious holiday' I'm going to flip. I just have to say I'm tired of people getting all fussy about a pagan turned christian holiday that in today's world has nothing to do with any religion except consumerism! Name me one person you know who goes to church on Christmas? Now name me people that exchange presents on that day. You see? You don't have to celebrate anything remotely Christian to enjoy the season.People are such humbugs I think. I mean, what other country gets pissed at their holidays like we do? It's a day off people, take it! If I started getting Diwali or Rosh Hashanah off I wouldn't complain because even if I don't celebrate it, I get to sleep in and lounge on my couch playing Dragon Quest all day. Why would you want to complain about that? And for those people who think complaining about getting one holiday off but not others will work, let me just say that the more religious holidays you want off, the less you're going to get. Companies are instead going to make you work ALL religious holidays instead of giving you more time off. Same principle, different application. I'm sorry but there are too many holidays to give us them all off so people just picked the majority vote (sorry but the majority of US citizens still say their Christian). Please stop complaining about time off and enjoy it. Have we really gotten so stupid as a country that we WANT to work more?
