Subject: Holiday Office Closure

Believe it or not, it?s that time again that I get to come to you with some early holiday cheer!

As in years past, [The Company] will close up shop to celebrate the holiday season.

Our offices will shut down starting Wednesday, December 24th and will re-open for official business on Monday, January 5th!

As with previous closings, this is workload permitting with the understanding that any immediate client commitments have been fulfilled before you depart.

Please enjoy your time off and let?s all come back recharged and ready to tackle 2009 as ONE!

All the best,
Honcho

It must be nice getting close to two weeks off without having to burn through vacation days ....

The word you are looking for is not non-denominational.

The word you are looking for is non-sectarian, or possibly non-religious.

Personally I think it's all a load of bullshit because Christmas is the traditional name, and if you get offended by the name of a holiday which most celebrate as a feel-good event, you have worse problems...

Yep, and for once they announce it with enough lead time to actually plan something. It's usually mid/late-November before they say anything.

I'm not offended by it. I changed the wording of the email specifically to get you rowled up. Mission accomplished!

pretty sweet man! I wish I got that off...I am already taking off December 25th to Jan 8th, so that'd be perfect for me .

I 'celebrate' Christmas, and I don't even believe in it. While gift giving/receiving is great, for me, especially now that I'm away for school, it's a time of family togetherness. As a kid it was all about the presents, and its interesting how you change some as you mature. Especially look forward to seeing my sister, she should be coming back home for that time - she lives in Texas now with her husband.
This year is gonna be great too because my buddy should get leave from Afghanistan around that time, and his 21st birthday is a week before Christmas.

I get this time off for shutdown as well. Been getting this for 5 years now, although this year is a bit longer (because of how the holidays land)

Hooray for us!

You'd never see that working retail.

Enjoy your vacation!

It means they have to consummate their employment with each other while they tackle the clients. Hopefully he works in lesbian strip club....but I'm talking about the sexy ones, not the butch ones.

I guess not. Google says it's Bad Religion, or possibly some band named Pulley. I never could get into punk, much less the neuveau punk that Bad Religion seemed to be.

More likely fire ants. Those fuckers bite. FEEL THE PAIN, LOVE THE PAIN.
