I used to drive cross country, semi-truck, and working on holidays was pretty much a given. Also when I worked on ranches, holidays what was that? Christmas day for many years I worked, it wasn't until I was about 35 that I actually had that whole day off. If I had been asked to work I did, no questions asked. In the Military you don't have much of a choice either.

I absolutely understand your point, as I was in the military as well and worked every Christmas. That's part of being considered essential personnel. And I'm certainly not against work. My point was only that if Christmas is lowered to on par with say Labor Day, or Holloween, it will be a sad day.
