Hey why not. We already have Christmas, which is exclusively a christian holiday. And don't forget lots of people normally work on Sundays, except Easter is a christian holiday and many employees get the day off anyway. Good Friday - another Christian holiday that people get paid for. And let us always bear in mind that ALL Sundays are considered holidays, in the work world. The christian day of rest. Even the post office works on Saturdays.

So if you want to complain about a holiday to celebrate the end to slavery in the USA, and categorize it as another "specialty" paid day off, how about we just eliminate christmas, good friday, easter sunday, ALL sundays. Force people to work rotating schedules so everyone is stuck working on a sunday, all government offices open 7 days a week.

We could go that route if you really want to. I've been against mandatory christmas closings for decades.
