    I celebrate it because it’s 1 of only 6 holidays in the year our pathetic job gives us off for… I’ll tell you the stretch between NYD and Memorial day is brutal.

      This isn’t a who’s job is shittier off but retail workers are like “y’all get 6 holidays off a year? That stretch between Christmas and Christmas is brutal.” We need bank holidays in this country.

        I remember my mother and grandfather working Christmas regularly. I believe they got OT if they were scheduled on Christmas. That was their only compensation.
