I am hereby making a proposal that, as a nation, we grant the entire month of December off, with pay. I know there are some kinks to be worked out here. People still need to eat, people get sick, people do like to shop for the holidays, but...
There's a part of me that wishes we could and would give all Jewish people the entire eight days off for Hanukkah. And then you have the Christmas season, Kwanzaa, and sometimes, Diwali. It's almost an entire month's worth of reflection, rest, and celebration.
Maybe we could say "If your celebration is this week, you have it off, and you work half-time the rest of the month." That way people are still working half-days so stuff stays open, but you have more time with family and friends.
Who's with me?
