Logical.  I've never been big one the holidays -- would rather work them &
get  paid 250% for my time, than sit at home trying to figure out stuff to do
when  everything's closed.

My coworkers love it ("you want Xmas off? Sure; no problem, no need to work
one of my days in exchange")

Most of my bosses only care that the shifts are covered as per the schedule
--  the who isn't so important as the when.

For the observances that are meaningful to me, I can take time any time, work 
or home, to focus on the meaning & spirit of the day.

When I was a teenage business owner, & otherwise in my teens, Xmas was all 
about the spirit -- I'd get someone to pick me up a 40 of whiskey & invite a 
couple buddies over to get sloshed. . .

Once we went out in as much of a blizzard as Mission ever gets & did carolling.

In the hour before we got too cold, we were given enough money(we had no idea 
that would happen!) to buy full price smokes & a hot meal in a warm
restaurant  for all of us!
