I get paid for my holidays but yes it is just another day off.

I actually celebrate the big holidays, but Labor Day, President's Day and other smaller ones, I just see it as a day off.

Most holidays have a special meaning. My family is big on Holidays.:)

I see them all as a day off, except the big ones like thanksgiving.

Good Friday was never a religious occasion for me as a child. It was a day we welcomed in the Spring and as kids usually went on a hike. There were no ritualistic religious celebrations in my family however Easter Sunday was totally different, starting off with church in the morning and ending with a traditional Easter meal which we only had once a year. Great question

Usually both,but some more than others. I especially look at the celebration of Easter and Christmas. Even though Christ's birth and ressurection did not happen on those exact days, nevertheless, those holidays hold a special significance in my life because of what Christ did for me. How about yourself?

Holidays have become more of huge commercial endeavors rather than remembrance of what they once stood for. Which I find nauseating, so they are all just another day off.

With the exception of the kid specific types of holidays... I see them as a complete and total waste of perfectly good work time. Nothing used to piss me off more than to know I had something importent to finish over a long useless weekend of family and distractions.

Sadly, it depends on the holiday. As a school teacher, holidays can become a shining beacon of hope to not give up and do your job for x number of days, then you can rest. Othertimes, they are simply a different type of work; shopping, cleaning, and family visits (sigh). Once in awhile, I get a real holiday.
