Unless it's going to get you in trouble, I'd just do this.

Yeah, but Jews like holidays too! Oh, and I married a Catholic, and she might like me to be with her on Christmas eve.
Get ready for the "Catholic guilt"...*sigh*

It's okay, Jews know how to counter the Catholic guilt with Jewish guilt!

I think you're right, AD. I'll probably just end up taking the day after Xmas unpaid, and complain about it.

Zeus, did you have to take extra vacation days for the time you were stuck in Thailand?

lol!

See, I would approve of this. Thursday holidays should (almost) always be floating holidays. Let people travel to see family for Christ's sake (pun intended)

Yeah we do. I mean, where do you think Catholics learned it from?

I had to take 2 extras for the Thailand extravaganza - two days that I apparently didn't have. They honeymoon certainly maxed out my time off for the year. I just figured we had Christmas eve off, but no such luck.

i find it ironic that I don't even celebrate holidays, yet i'm getting the 23, 25, 26, and 30th off. That's what happens when your yearly deadline is December 22nd and you can't take any vacation time before that.

You're not going to get any sympathy from me. I had to work Thanksgiving day and I will be working XMas Eve, XMas Day, New Years Eve and New years Day.
