My 12 years working for the state I worked at least 8-10 Christmas, New Years and Thanksgivings.
When it happened to be on my 2 days off I would offer a switch with a co worker who had kids.
We got paid well [2 1/2 times premium Holiday pay] for those holidays.
My mom also worked the same holidays when I was young.
I try to appreciate everyday more than just 1 in particular.
Funny when being raised sometimes we went to church for mass more often we did not.
Many years later I am at my sisters house for Christmas and her and my mom are singing happy birthday to jesus and have a cake with candles~!
Not even sure where that came from or what I missed growing up?
