[PJ-Comix]

Spanish folks call days such as Monday, "El Puente." That is, a bridge from Sunday to Christmas Day on Tuesday. Also if the Fourth of July falls on a Thursday, the next day is considered El Puente as the bridge to Saturday. An "El Puente" day is always considered a holiday.

Unfortunately, my wife does not get an El Puente this Monday. She told me she has to work that day but I suspect, because it is a dental office, it will be only a half a day. I mean, who wants to have dental work done on Christmas Eve?

I know that Mexico has the “puente” day off by law, but I don’t believe that it is a generalized custom in Latin American countries or in Spain.

There. Fixed it.
