Are those holidays 4 day weekends where most people take a half day on wed

Xmas and thanksgiving are the two biggest travel days of the year. I don’t know why we don’t switch that to make July 4th or Labor Day a travel weekend, with a two day holiday.

No where do I talk about there not being any summer holiday

Did you grow up in an orphanage? Hate your family? Why do you hate tradition?

Look if a bunch of asshole bureaucrats decided July 25th is now a family holiday I'd still take Christmas off. As for moving Thanksgiving I encourage you to read about when they tried to do that.

When did people try to change thanksgiving? I am also not advocating for changing the dates of the holidays.

But just making July 4th or labor day a 4 day holiday. Makes no sense to me the multi day holidays are back to back.

It seems like Europe has a major summer holiday. Where people travel on top of Christmas.

I only get Thanksgiving off and Christmas off. To make it a four day holiday I have to take the day off work. For what it's worth I took the fifth off this year.

At my last two jobs we had EDOs (earned days off). 9 hour days, every second Friday off. And every statutory holiday coincided with an EDO. So every long weekend is a 4 day weekend.

And since this Monday is a holiday, I'm going to have tomorrow off work and enjoy my extra long weekend.

But I'm not in the USA.

June down here and the pools have been open for well over a month and you are already tired of the kids being home for the summer.
