Dr. Seuss is a good model for that.

Probably because he had too much green eggs and ham.

Too many eggs can be quite bad.

Christmas is the Philippine holiday for overeating.
We especially hate it that it falls on a weekend this year. Unfortunately, our last President discontinued the order that moves holidays falling on weekends to the nearest Monday or Friday.

We overeat on Christmas also. The difference is there are presents.

We usually don't have a Christmas feast, but we do buy each other presents.

Presents are common for kids up to high school or even college age. Now... well, I still do get presents, but a lot of it is in cash. Which is perfectly fine

I remember when I hated cash or clothes as presents, but it's all I would want now!

When I worked as a temp, sick days cost me money, in that I didn't get paid for them.
On and in regards to when holidays fall on the weekend. Generally, the Monday after is given as a holiday, but the actual holiday is celebrated on the actual day.

That's how my college handles weekday holidays as well.

Alas, that is no longer done here. Rather annoying. Especially as most of us rarely celebrate holidays other than Christmas, New Year, the Holy Week and All Saints' Day - we just want the day off from school or work.

My work has 11 holidays. Also, if you work the Friday after Thanksgiving, you get comp time in addition to getting paid. I usually work it as there is not many people around and not much to do.

I don't get holiday pay, but I would be able to file for an overtime allowance.

I'm the opposite. I could work every weekend, and get nothing for it. But I do get holiday pay.

Perhaps we should form a union to demand better pay practices

Actually, I'm fine. In addition to the 11 holidays, I have 15 vacation days, 15 sick days, and 5 personal days. Some of the vacation days can roll over to next year. All the sick days can roll over and when I retire, I'll get 20% of my unused sick days.

Your leave policy is more generous than mine.
There is a school of thought in HR, that unused leaves should not be converted into cash. Cash conversion may encourage people to come to work even while sick.
