I've worked the majority of Chirsitmases, Easters, Thanksgivings, 4th of Julys, Labor Days, Memorial Days, etc over that last 25 years. Maybe affer you finish being a student and get into the "real world", you will appreciate why we might give someone the Monday after a Sunday holiday off. I wasn't off this time, but I certainly don't owe you or anyone else an apology if I am.
Christmas.....a wonderful time of year to think of someone
other than yourself.
