Not a matter of solemnity, just look at all the other holidays they don't deliver on.

Status: offline 		i offered to work christmas day when i worked retail, because i'm a pagan....they declined, since they werent open.

wolf has wored c-stores (7-11 or Kwiky-Mart types) for ages as a manager...he split holidays into 3 hour shifts and required EVERYONE to work them unless they traded off with someone else (in his presence, in writing).

his opinion has been better that everyone lose a little time with their families than to be unfair to anyone.

So how many people out there want to volunteer to work Christmas day, every year for the rest of your life? Either stand behind your principles or not.

Wouldn't it be cool if employees and civil servants alike were given a choice of, say, 12 official 'holidays' to spend as they wished in addition to their vacation entitlement each year?

Status: offline 		Isn't it ironic?  People want to take "In God We Trust" off of our money, take "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance, and we can't display the Ten Commandments in government buildings, yet the Federal Government is closed on the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

What's even funnier is that Jesus wasn't even born on December 25th!

97% pecent of them would choose Christmas Day anyway making it not worth the tax payer money to remain open.

Again, this is lack of availability.

I worked at a company in the past, that would allow you to swap out a few holidays; Yom Kippur or the solstice for Christmas, etc.  We employed folks from an incredibly wide range of religions.

I frankly don't need your sorrow.  And the fact that folks aren't Christian (or maybe your brand of Christian) doesn't mean that people don't think that they have a future at death.  Note the religions that believe in reincarnation, for instance.
