Myyy, I really feel sorry for you, Chuckie, and all Americans. In my family nobody* has worked since Dec 19th, and we all have another free week in front of us.
*('cept my daughter's BF. He saves as many vacation days as he can because he already works but still has big exams to pass in a couple of months.)

In NZ, 25/12, 26/12, 1/1 & 2/1 are all public holidays so we are having 2 very long weekends in a row.
Australia does not have 2/1 as a public holiday but many will take it off anyway. Generally most businesses, factories and government offices close if possible or operate on minimum staff for at least 2 weeks and of course it is school and university summer holidays for 6 or more weeks.
While most shops are open on public holidays (except 25/12) but the workers are getting double time pay.

My little baby is a doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Yesterday my son graduated from med school!!!
It was a gorgeous day, perfect in every way! I had been so nervous that something would go wrong, mainly regarding the arrangements for my own and my mom's needs of transport and stuff. But nothing went wrong, everything worked out perfectly!
The weather was as beautiful as could be, a boneless blue sky and no wind. The ceremony in the cathedral was beautiful, speaches and music and handing over diplomas. My son was one of the student speakers. His girlfriend was one of the musicians.
Then we all went to the venue where my son, his gf and two of their coursemates threw a party for like 100 people, all their family and friends. It was great! Everyone was happy for them, lots of nice people to talk to, yummi food, a little garden outside where people could sit around. Such a wonderful celebration!
It was just the most perfect of days!!!!
I'm the proudest mum on earth!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D
And yes, I have pics in my phone. Problem is, I don't know how to get them from my phone and onto the forum ::)
