Just wondering aloud.

I don't. It's not that I'm against it, it's just that I have American employees who would have a hissy fit if I made them work on that day, so I have to do everything. Every year I've been in this country, I've worked like a dog on Thanksgiving. Maybe one day I'll do it. Then again, as a vegetarian I'd hate to be the guy who has to have a special dish cooked for him.

Sometimes people feel bad that I have to work on Thanksgiving. But I tell them, what do I care? I'm British. The holiday has no sentimentality for me. Now Christmas, that's different. I have to work every year and it throws me into a hissy fit.

So, American or Brits are capable of hissy fits.
 
Who knew.

Girls are the same everywhere.

That's what boys like about them.
 
Sum girls like that too.

I celebrate anything that enables a day off from work.

My brother in law sends a card to his Mom on Mothers Day when it isn't even Mothers Day.
 
I've had to write to him about this, he should send it to his Mum when it's actually Mothers Day here.  I had to take several days off for that as I ended up being confused but that may be just because he lives in Portland.
 
Do you guys take a day off for what you call 'Labor Day' too?  Careful how you answer that because that might confuse me as well.
 
Here in Britain the concept of Thanksgiving is pretty far-fetched as we generally have absolutely nothing to be grateful for aside from not having to sit down for an awkard meal with relatives we only see once a year.

There are some days that most people get off work, like Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The rest of them pretty much depend on where you work. If you're a teacher or other government employee then you're going to get MLK off, for the rest of the population it seems to be 50/50. Same for Columbus Day and Veterans day. Federal employees get them off but a lot of other people have to work.
