PAR35-
Bingo!

Affinity days. That’s a nice concept. Still I think there’s something to be said for shutting down everything Dec. 26-31-four days extra. A good time to reflect and bring folks together. Still a lot of people will be working.

Affinity days was my late father’s idea. He (WWII and Korea vet) didn’t think anyone but veterans should get off veteran’s day which got him started on the whole concept.

As far as giving everyone the same week off, travel is already bad enough then and at Thanksgiving. That would just make things worse.

Forgot to add - only Calvinists could get Thanksgiving off.
