Not everyone celebrates Christmas or New Years. I'm a manager in a retail store and know that booking time off around Christmas is pretty much impossible. If you want Christmas holidays, book them off at the beginning of the year. With that much notice, they actually can't refuse - especially if you're not getting paid vacation.

But if the movies are closed, what will my fellow Jews and I do after we eat our Chinese food?

Don't forget medical places; clinics, hospitals, emergency centers, etc... I think it's really stupid for the more serious ones to EVER be closed. Our local animal hospital is closed on weekends, as if animals just conveniently stop dying on the weekends. (Our local people clinic pulls this too, but at least that's usually for minor things...) OP, that's really shitty of them, though.

19, people like you freaking annoy me. Don't act all high and mighty, you aren't better than drinkers just because you don't drink. And I'm tee-total too, incidentally, but not because it makes me better than anyone else. And when you diss people for drinking, you make all tee-totallers look like arrogant twats. And for me personally health has nothing to do with it. I just don't like being drunk, and I don't like the taste of alcohol so there is no reason for me to drink. But I don't look down on people who do because it's personal choice. So 19, I'd appreciate it if you could stop acting so far up your own arse. It's making others like us look bad. Thanks.

19, you're an abosolute twit. Not everyone who drinks is automatically addicted, and not all drinking results in unhealth (in fact, a couple alcohols are GOOD for you). Don't judge an activity based on the assholes involved in it. Are you against playing sports because of the steriod happenings?

41- You were making a good point until you used the word twat. After that I lost respect for you because that word sounds like something an elementary school student would say. If making fun of someone else make sure you don't make yourself look stupid.
