I have the day off today! The only other holiday I have off is Chrismas Day! (Then again, it probably has more to do with the fact that we're closed every Monday)
I'm pretty pissed because I was planning on doing my taxes today and the irs won't update their e-file site until tomorrow and the libraries and post offices are closed so I can't get a booklet.
Otherwise, I wish we'd have more holidays in a year (particularly if they were paid holidays at work). I'm personally not going to bitch and moan because I had MLK day off in school (though we did day of service, so I didn't really have it off because I was doing community service). In fact, I wish we'd have MORE holidays. How about we have a different day for ALL different presidents and anyone who has ever contributed to the community. Mother Theresa day? I'd go for it.
The fact of the matter is, this holiday may not be important to you but it's important to someone else. I'm Christian, so Hannukuh may not be important to me, but that doesn't mean I don't respect the fact that there are plenty of people in the world who are Jewish and DO find it important.
