Did you know that we’re having an almost 2-week long holiday this Christmas 2008?
A combination of special non-working days and the government’s policy of holiday economics — wherein specific holidays are moved to the nearest Mondays — made possible as many as 12 consecutive vacation days this December 2008.
Almost always, companies make December 24 a holiday (or at least a half-day holiday); of course, December 25 is Christmas Day; December 26 is already proclaimed a special non-working day; December 27 and 28 are weekends; December 29 is again a special non-working day; December 30 is Rizal Day; December 31 is a special holiday because it’s the last day of the year; January 1 is, of course, New Year; January 2 is Friday and is sandwiched between the holidays so I doubt you’ll work; and January 3 and 4 are weekends which means…
the Christmas season is going to be a 12-day holiday from December 24 2008 to January 4, 2009 for most people!
See you at work on January 5! Happy Holidays!
