The weeks are running faster and faster it seems - here, have a !BEER from me to celebrate one week closer to my retirement ;)
December 25 and 26 are national holidays. The 24th is a quite normal day, but the shops close at midday and many companies are closed too. We celebrate Christmas on th e24th though.
I like it that most businesses close for 2 or 3 days. They used to do that here too but now they only close for Christmas day. I think the whole country should shut down for a few days except for the travel industries.
Right, some have to work to keep the world running, but on such days nobody should have to work unless it is really important, such as the police or the firemen.
But what is with the people who don't celebrate Christmas? Here in Austria we have these national holidays which are mostly religious holidays, and these holidays apply to everyone, no matter what belief they have.
!BEER
I agree sir johannpiber, usually the people celebrate Christmas even if they don't believe in the reason for it just because it's a fun holiday. I don't know of a reason why someone would not join in the fun unless it is against their religion somehow.
I agree with you - don't know what meaningful I could add to what you said ;)
!BEER
Maybe some people use religion as an excuse to they don't have to spend any money! Nah, no one is that cheap are they? lol. Scrooge maybe.
I don't like to spend money at Christmas, because I think it all has become too commercial.
The children get money from me, so they can buy whatever they want ... or save the money.
Adults don't get anything from me - I'm too lazy to make handmade gifts, and I don't see any sense in spending money just because it's Christmas and everybody does it ... does that make sense? I'm !DERANGED I know, but I do also ask everybody to not buy anything for me ;)
!BEER
Yes you are very deranged sir johannpiber but not in this case. lol. I am exactly the same way. The emphasis put on materialism just takes away from the true meaning of Christmas and then people don't even know what the celebration is about. You ain't got time to make no handmade gifts anyway.
So they don't do any of those silly Christmas parties at your work place?
Howdy there deranged.coin on this fine Sunday morning!
