Our administrative closing lasts all of next week. We are open M T and F of the following week and closed W and R. Seems weird and seems to have started the intense celebrations a little early.

Friday is nice. Thursday is alright as well. The later in the work week, the better. Nothing worse than a Tuesday Christmas.

How ****ed up would the work schedule be if Christmas day was legally set to the last Friday in December with New Years Day remaining at Jan 1?

Yeah, in some years New Year's Eve and Christmas day would be the same. I would neg rep any politician that tried to put that through.

Since I only get one day off for Christmas, I prefer Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday so I get the coveted three day weekend.

Before this gets shipped to DC, like 75% of this message board knows Christmas was set to December to hijack the pagan winter solstice celebrations.

If Jesus Christ wasn't born on December 25, does the Bible indicate when He was born?
The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely time of Jesus' birth, based on the conception and birth of John the Baptist. Since Elizabeth (John's mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy when Jesus was conceived (Luke:1:24-36), we can determine the approximate time of year Jesus was born if we know when John was born. John's father, Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem temple during the course of Abijah (Luke:1:5). Historical calculations indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year ( The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix 179, p. 200). It was during this time of temple service that Zacharias learned that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a child (Luke:1:8-13). After he completed his service and traveled home, Elizabeth conceived (Luke:1:23-24). Assuming John's conception took place near the end of June, adding nine months brings us to the end of March as the most likely time for John's birth. Adding another six months (the difference in ages between John and Jesus) brings us to the end of September as the likely time of Jesus' birth.
