Quite recently I read about some multi religious country, it might have been Bosnia, where students in schools and employees can choose a certain number of days off from school or work, due to religious celebrations. I think that is a great idea for any modern society. We need more flexible holidays. Not only because of different religions, but maybe also due to how much value you put on different holidays and different traditions.
I must say that I find Christmas a terrible waste of days off from work. I don’t mind having days off from work, don’t get me wrong, but I would prefer to place them at a time of my choice, not in the middle of winter when travels to the sun is double the price as the weeks before and after. I actually offered to work these days, but at my normal job there is really nothing to do these days.
I would have preferred to have more days off at around midsummer or Easter or any other time of the year. I have promised myself this must be the last time I spend Christmas like this, but on the other side I think I said that last year too. I wonder how much in advance it is possible to book a trip for next December…
