Unlucky. Well, I am going to enjoy my brief holiday with a pint of cider or two.

[Ashaantha]

Public holiday for me too today it was.

Have you got a cider on hand?

[Serza]

Public holi-what?

 

Schools are open here.

 

(Also actually been TEACHING in one, for once, hah. Can do my future job without the paper I legally need to do it...)

Seriously. Bring back the twelve days of Christmas!

TIL: My child would rather wear a pair of nice-looking shoes that are sopping wet to school, than an old beat-up pair, that are comfy and dry.

 

*drink*

[Serza]

That deserves a drink...

 

My favorite jacket is hardly good-looking, but it keeps me warm, dry, and not giving a **** about the weather.

[Patricia08]

Don't you just love the rain i do   . 

[Serza]

Well, I did laugh like a madman this one day a year or so ago when it was raining like hell and I was returning home.

 

I was absolutely wet on the outside, of course. Comfy dry under the jacket.

The rain felt... oddly liberating on that day. Like it brought freedom.

[LightningPoodle]

Don't you just love the rain i do   . 

 

I do! Absolutely. And the dark. I love the dark.

[Serza]

The dark? Sure. It's awesome. Unless the other bunch of dudes got Gen III night vision and you got a Chemlight. A sole blue Chemlight. Stops being fun that moment.

[Patricia08]

I do! Absolutely. And the dark. I love the dark.

 

What kind of dark are you talking about you mean pitch dark or dark like in looking at the stars kind of dark ?

This has my vote.

Do you guys not have bank holidays?

 

Nope, as Royness already stated.  These are the only real holidays that exist here in Freedomland, subset Missouriland.  And just because a holiday exists, there is no mandate that it is some sort of vacation day from work.  That is totally up to the individual employers.

 

New Year's Day               Friday, January 1, 2016      Federal and State
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day  Monday, January 18, 2016     Federal and State
Lincoln Day                  Friday, February 12, 2016    State only
Washington's Birthday        Monday, February 15, 2016    Federal and State
Truman Day (Observed)        Monday, May 9, 2016          State only
Memorial Day                 Monday, May 30, 2016         Federal and State
Independence Day             Monday, July 4, 2016         Federal and State
Labor Day                    Monday, September 5, 2016    Federal and State
Columbus Day                 Monday, October 10, 2016     Federal and State
Veterans Day                 Friday, November 11, 2016    Federal and State
Thanksgiving Day             Thursday, November 24, 2016  Federal and State
Christmas Day (Observed)     Monday, December 26, 2016    Federal and State

 

You notice what isn't on there?  President's Day, because it's not a real holiday.  It's just something stores and whatnot "celebrate" for big sales to sucker people out of their money.

[Gilli]

Wow, didn't think Switzerland would have more Public Holidays than America xD

[Beerfish]

This is our list in Canada:

Polar Bear Day            
Remembrance day Day

N7 Day 
Real Thanksgiving Day (Not the American one that is a month late)
Christmas Day

Maple syrup Day

Because we English speakers are not as industrious and hard working as our German speaking friends.

Marry me.

I think the difference is, the english page has absolutely all holidays on it (eg. it has Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, while the German page has only Easter Monday)

Tho my fav Swiss Holiday is das Sächsilüüte.

Kaboom!
