Day Off From Work For Christmas? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 12-21-2005, 11:09 PM

Since Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, what day are you getting off from work? Is anyone getting beat out of a day off this year?

Are the banks, the post office, etc, open on Monday?

Steve M. · 12-21-2005, 11:14 PM

I'm getting off Monday, December 26 -- Boxing Day, mate!

God Save the Queen!

Broadcasting is a 24/7 business. With that said, I took Monday, December 26th off. Despite that, I still get a comp day because Christmas does fall on a Sunday.

My mom has to work this Christmas... as she did last year's too. She works at a nursing home and obviously they can't just close on Christmas.

Courtnee · 12-22-2005, 12:36 AM

I don't work but I get 2 weeks off from school

My company shuts down for the week between Christmas and New Year. Tomorrow is my last day to work this year; I'm off from December 23 through January 2. With pay!

Usually, when a holiday falls on a Sunday the government/bank organizations take the following Monday off as the holiday. Also, the Tournament of Roses Parade is never held on a Sunday; it will be seen on January 2nd.

Janice: Christmas will be "observed" on Monday(much like when Veterans' Day falls on a Sunday), so yes, the banks, post offices, and most of the government will be closed Monday.

The same thing will happen on January 2nd for New Year's Day:

I've been off of work since the 16th of December up through the 1st of January 2006. I go back on the 2nd. I have 17 days of paid vacation, so I'm happy.

I have Saturday and Sunday off but the four days after that (Mon-Thurs) I have to go back.

Oh well, as long as I have the actual holiday off, I'm fine.
