Easter break round the world...how many days break do you get?

[JohnS]

Prior to the 19th century, some western countries had a week off to celebrate Easter. 

In the United States, I was surprised that Good Friday was not a federal holiday when I travelled there with my family in 2011, but it is a state holiday in 12 states.

 4 day weekend here in Ireland.

Rob, to ensure we go to mass the Irish government helpfully force all pubs and bottle shops to close on Friday so thankfully it's a good day for catching up with mates at house parties although I always feel sorry for the tourists wandering about town wondering what the f%#^ do you do in Dublin on a wet Friday when every single pub is closed....over the years I've done the decent thing and adopted tourists and brought them to parties with me!

Theres talk we might be dragged into the 20th century with the government thinking of changing the alcohol laws to allow pubs to open next year onwards though

Dealer I work for is closed on Sunday but we will be working every other day.  

Great reason to have a sale!  Jesus died have a sale, Jesus is risen have a sale! Passover--sale, Snow-have a sale, sunny--have a sale, hail--big big sale!, sun came up--have a sale, gas low--have a sale, gas high-have a sale, rain, snow, sleet, thunderstorms, honoring veterans, Presidents, workers--have a sale!  Great business to be in.  Fortunately I work for a great family-they're awesome!  Family's awesome--have a sale!

"We're having a sale!" sale!

My team thought it harsh that in order to be paid for the Friday they had to sms me a selfie with the parish priest 

 

 

I could send you a picture of me and my local Bishop if it makes you feel better

[rhcolbert]

None.

off Friday, Saturday, Sunday......weather to be in the 70's wonderful New England spring weather.

Flowers blooming, song birds returning from the south (central america) and the huge amount

of cherry trees blooming a ton.  A reward for a shitty March winter 3 storms ice, snow and  temps.

in the teens and below!

Or you could take a pic with me. I'm a registered minister!

Days? Plural?  Surely you jest!  Lucky to have Sunday off!  

[Dmpotocek]

Zero days off, however being a glass half full guy, there is also no traffic driving to/from work in DC so it takes away a little of the sting.

When you say "here", Claus, do you mean California, work or some fancy shoe store? 

[PigFish]

EDITED AND DELETED.

seriously ray, guns? 

and at easter? you should know better.

[moryc]

As per our collective bargaining agreement we get Friday and Monday off.  Never work weekends.  I know most people in Canada don't get the Monday off. 

[Cep]

I think we get 1 day here in Ontario.  But honestly i have no idea.  I'm always the last to know about vacation days.

Half day Friday but that's it.  Hoping to enjoy some golf.

[Ken Gargett]

if some members are wondering where their posts went, they were deleted. DO NOT BRING UP GUNS, SHOOTING etc. ray, you especially should know better.

if you are new to the forum, you might not be aware of the endless crap that follows. which inevitably leads to bannings, suspensions, fights.

it does not matter how innocuous you think your posts are. they incite serious problems.

and do not think you'll do it and the mods will simply go through and delete and you can leave it to them. this was a one-time easter special.

 

[schquigly]

Zero.

[Lotusguy]

Both

Friday through Monday with the wife and child away at her parents. I declined the invite and am having four days of solitude and peace with my own "to do" list.
