[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christmas is a national holiday, the high holidays are not. Eid is not. That's why businesses are closed for Christmas and not for Eid. I'm a Jew - but that is just a fact. [/quote] Christmas is a Christian holiday. Most schools and businesses are closed in recognition that the majority of the population is Christian. It is not a national holiday and many non-Christians don't celebrate anything on that day other than enjoying the day off, just as they would on a weekend or a secular holiday like President's Day.[/quote] NP but Christmas has turned into a secular, consumer holiday. Also, "Easter Monday" is not a holiday or a thing and Easter is tied to a Sunday. [/quote] Christmas is a federal holiday.[/quote]
