I'll let my facts stand on their own merits.

Keep your religion on your property and off of mine.

Great. Go to work on December 25th, then.

If not, you're a hypocrite.

I do go to work, if the company I'm working for allows it.

Double overtime time, woot!

I wish the companies I worked for did that.

That would be awesome.

Instead, I waste a day sitting at home for a holiday that is fake in the first place.

Because it's a federal holiday.

LOL aren't all holiday's "fake"? I mean they were created by people to celebrate one thing or another, right?

MLK, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas - weren't these all "created" by people? What makes one faker than others?

I think Hallmark created all holidays.

Yay, Axis! Super Santa!

I mentioned this much earlier in the thread.

No, because, depending on the company, one gets overtime for working holidays, and not all are federal holidays either.

There is no law requiring companies to ofer overtime wages for working holidays.

You betcha.

Gift giving at Yule was something else stolen from older traditions.
