Oh, Friday! yay! That means you are one week closer to retirement and that is one week that you won't have to work again at that job. That calls for a drink!
Does the whole country shut down on the 24th, 25th and 26th?

The weeks are running faster and faster it seems - here, have a !BEER from me to celebrate one week closer to my retirement ;)

December 25 and 26 are national holidays. The 24th is a quite normal day, but the shops close at midday and many companies are closed too. We celebrate Christmas on th e24th though.

I like it that most businesses close for 2 or 3 days. They used to do that here too but now they only close for Christmas day. I think the whole country should shut down for a few days except for the travel industries.

Right, some have to work to keep the world running, but on such days nobody should have to work unless it is really important, such as the police or the firemen.
But what is with the people who don't celebrate Christmas? Here in Austria we have these national holidays which are mostly religious holidays, and these holidays apply to everyone, no matter what belief they have.

!BEER

I agree sir johannpiber, usually the people celebrate Christmas even if they don't believe in the reason for it just because it's a fun holiday. I don't know of a reason why someone would not join in the fun unless it is against their religion somehow.

I agree with you - don't know what meaningful I could add to what you said ;)

!BEER

Maybe some people use religion as an excuse to they don't have to spend any money! Nah, no one is that cheap are they? lol. Scrooge maybe.
