Oh, you Americans. You have it sooooo good.
Except for a few folks (like retail workers), most everything shuts down from Christmas to New Years, so you get a 9 day vacation.
You have your Thanksgiving on a THURSDAY. Seriously - THURSDAY? We all know that you just do that so you can take from Wednesday until Monday off. We Canadians take proper long weekends: Thanksgiving is a Monday, so it’s 3 days. THREE. Hear me, U.S.A.? One extra day off.
When Canada Day comes around we hope it falls on a Friday or something so that it works out as a long weekend, too. In most years, when it falls on a non-weekend, people take the day off and that’s all. Not YOU guys, though. Oh, no. If Independence Day is on Wednesday? Well, screw it, might as well take Thursday and Friday and make a 5-day weekend of it.
I’m surprised you guys don’t celebrate Good Friday on Wednesday so you can take a week off in the spring.
Jerks.
