What holidays count for a child visitation order that says every other holiday in virginia? I have court-ordered visitation with my four-year old son, which includes every other holiday. However, we can never agree on what counts as a holiday. It seems like she always says what does and doesn't count so that her holidays fall on the ones she wants. We are in Virginia, and no one seems to have an official holoday "list." Anyone have any advice? Thanks!
How do you share holidays with your family and the inlaws? My husband and I have families that live in the same area. Our parents live about 30 min apart from each other. However holidays are such a pain planning. How does your family split holidays and if you live in the same town what would you do if they planed say Thanksgiving dinner at the same time. (keep in mind there are siblings and extended families aunts uncles ect.) not just my parents and his parents. How does your family share or do holidays?
What are the most important Jewish holidays to acknowledge? My sister is converting. I am nonreligious, and I send Easter cards to my close Christian friends/family. She will be my first Jewish family member, and I was wondering what holidays I should mark with cards? I assume I should send my standard "holiday" greeting to them before Hanukkah, but should I send a card for Yom Kippur or any other holiday?

What are the top paying jobs for the holidays? I am thinking about trying to get a part time job to get some extra cash for the holidays but the only places that I see hiring are department stores and they are only paying $7.00-8.00 and you can only work 15 hours a week. Have you ever worked at a job for the holidays where you made great money? Where are the best places to work for the holidays where you can make the most money? Any ideas on commission types of jobs would be helpful too. By the way, I am WAY over 18 so I don't want to babysit, or work in a grocery store.
What are you main memories of school summer holidays as a child? So a simple question - what are your memories of school summer holidays? Long caravan/beach holidays in the UK? Holidays abroad? Or just endlessly messing around with water bombs in a local park and when older trying to impress (failing) members of the opposite sex? Or did you do some work over the summer? Gardening for neighbours for six pence etc? AND do kids now have the same sort of experiences or are they slumped on a PS3 eating crisps, before going to the alps for a week?
What are the biggest holidays in the United States, in order? I am an American, and someone who isn't asked me what the biggest holidays in the United States are. Of course I know American holidays, but I wasn't really sure how to "rank" them. For example, which is the most important holiday? Or should Thanksgiving be higher or lower than Memorial day? And so on. So what would your ranking be for the most important American holidays?
How different are the holidays going to be this year? In the past year I've been blessed with 2 beautiful grand sons, watched my daughter go through an ugly, unexpected divorce, and lost a few loved ones. I'm also watching family and friends have to reorganize their lives because of the economic situation. My holidays are going to be different in a lot of ways. Are things much different for you this year?

How do you and your spouse split up holidays between the two families? My boyfriend and I are getting ready to be engaged. His family lives in one state, my family in another, I live in a third state, and he in a fourth. It's not possible to drive from one family's home to the other overnight - it's about a 12 hour drive or more. How do you and your spouse divide time for holidays, and how much distance is between your families' homes? How did you decide which holidays to spend where?

I would like to be at some place where there are lakes, waterfalls, mountains, forests, bushwalking etc. I want to be at some place which has got natural scenic beauty. Can you suggest some place? It will be good if you suggest some place where you have already been because then you know that place better. Thank You. I am relying on public transport since I don't have a car.
How to deal with Annoying People during the holidays? I know some people are going to come over i do not really like over the holidays.

What to eat for the holidays as a vegetarian? I'm a vegetarian and I have no idea what to eat on the holidays when everyone else is having turkey and ham as their main course. What should I eat that would be delicious and still seem traditional.. Preferably southern American food. I mean as a main dish.
How do you handle being a vegetarian throughout the holidays? This will be my first thanksgiving and christmas as a vegetarian. As everyone knows, christmas and thanksgiving have alot to do with food. I will be going to my parents for both occasions and I will bring my own food to contribute to the meal. Is this how other vegetarians get through the holidays? What types of food do you prepare? I know my holiday food traditions will have to change, but I'm not sure where to start.
How do your pets celebrate the holidays with you? What are in their stockings? Ours have stockings and each has a box of bark bars, some treats, chews, each has a toy and a ball. We'll wrap presents loosely and then let them "nose" them open. They get all giddy and excited when it's the holidays. They KNOW they have stockings and will be real excited to dig into them. They won't be allowed but a few treats of their choice and the rest of the treats will go in their treat box. Tomorrow, they will get some turkey breast (each one of them, no skin or bones) as a "treat" with their food. How do you celebrate?
What is the Canadian Government law for holidays? My parents received a notice from the federal government CIC office to write the citizenship exam. The company (the supervisor not the company itself) that my dad works for refused to give him a paid holiday. I thought that any federal government “request to appear” notices for things like jury duty, citizenship exam, etc automatically consider to me a mandatory holiday. I mean if a person is reporting to Government of Canada, the Canadian companies are obligated to give paid holiday for that day or period. Please give me some advice. I think my parents have faced discrimination in this company. I need to make sure the Government of Canada position on this before do anything. So, is a person is entitle to paid holidays for Canadian Federal Government orders? Any, information is highly appreciated.
How do you deal with an alcoholic during the holidays? The holidays are supposed to be about family-time, good food and cheer. We have a heavy drinker amongst us and his drinking makes everyone uncomfortable and unhappy. How do we deal with his problem while preserving the holiday spirit?
How do I deal with the problem of not celebrating holidays when I become a kindergarten teacher? I am a Jehovah's Witness and therefore don't celebrate any national holidays, but "when I grow up" I want to be a kindergarten teacher. I already know FOR SURE this is what I want to be and have helped out in elementary schools to make sure it is the right thing for me. Now I am just wondering how I would deal with the issue of holidays since I know they are a big deal in the younger grades. Any kindergarten teachers out there who can give me some advice?
What determines the good friday and easter holidays? I mean sometimes, this holidays come late march,some other years early April,and some other times late April.I'm just wondering, the criteria used in allocating a day for the pass over, in a given year, thank in advance for your generous insights.
How do you feel about working holidays? I work in an office and they have decided the office needs to be open on holidays. Currently they are getting volunteers to work the holidays but if that fails they will schedule them. I feel enough is enough and holidays should be just that. Business has too much control over us. When events like 911 happen we are in the dark with no radio or tv to keep us alert. I think it is sad that we are letting big business control everything and our families have to suffer. What are your thoughts? We get time and a half pay also but some things are more important than money. I understand the customer is the reason we have our jobs. I am a customer also. I don't expect people to have to work on holidays. If they chose to work that is fine. When peope volunteer to do this though it eventually becomes mandatory and that is where I have concerns. My business doesn't make money they protect their own money and investments. People don't want phone calls on the holidays. I know I don't. Holidays include Christmas and Thanksgiving.
When do stores start hiring for seasonal help for the Holidays? I work as a substitute teacher during the day but I need another part-time job to make some extra money. When is the best time to start applying for temporary help in retail for the holiday season? I want to do it early before all the jobs go, but not so early that they think I'm looking for permit employment. I just want something for the holidays. I have about 1 1/2 year experience working in retail.
I want to bake cookies for the holidays any suggestions? How can I make homeade cookies that are not complicated but are easy to make. Do you know of any good sugar cookie recepies and how to make icing for the cookies as well? I never cut out shapes with a rolling pin before it is hard? I want to give the cookies as gifts as a personal touch. Thank you in advance for sharing your recipies. Happy Holidays.
When is an acceptable time to take holidays from work? I have just recently moved up to a full-time position at work, and have 14 holidays (not including weekends or stat holidays) to use before December 31. I don't want to take my time off too soon, but my company prefers it if I use all of my vacation time before the end of the year, since there is no rollover to the next year. Between now and the December, when are some acceptable times to use my holidays?
What color braces should I get for the holidays? Here are my thoughts: red and green white and red red, white, and green silver and gold silver and white i can get up to three colors (orthodontist rules...) Oh, and any other christmas color combanations suggestions will be accepted. Oh, and also: I get braces colors and they dont fade away like everyone elses. Is that weird or am I just lucky? Thanks, and happy holidays!
What happens to your marriage live during the holidays? This year we travelled a lot, but practically never had time alone. We went almost a week without sex until hubby got me in a bathroom during some down time hehe. Essentially during busy holidays like this we act more like a consortium and less like a marriage, unfortunately. How about you?
What are some good ways to enjoy the holidays when your severely depressed? It's been 5 days since I've started lexapro and abilify and I haven't noticed anything other than a general calming feeling. My emotions are still numb, and I feel faint-headed/like a puddle of water. How do I go about enjoying the holidays when I'm feeling like this? I feel so discouraged that I won't get out of this and get back to normal cause it feels so bad. I'm lucky to have the support of my parents and psychiatrist.
What are all the holidays in America for high school students? And when i say all, i mean AL. The whole year please. I'm kind of keeping track of my brother up there, because we think, well, i think he's just making some holidays up. So if you could kindly give me a list or something that tells when a certain holiday or 'break' starts and when it ends, it would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know where teens can volunteer during the holidays? I want my teens to learn a little bit more about the meaning of "giving back" during the holidays and to be a little bit more greatful for what they have that some kids don't. Like simple things; a roof over their heads, food in the fridge, a healthy lifestyle, etc. I am in NYC. I don't know where kids can volunteer safely though. Children's hospitals reading to the kids? Wrapping presents? Something....
Where is a place i could live that celebrates holidays passionately? Well im obsessed with holiday tradition, mainly talking about christmas and halloween. And i want to live in a city where like everyone decorates and all the kids are out trick or treating, and maybe towns that have legends. Id like a more rural area, but not like complete country, just a small suburb or town. I just want a place full of life where the holidays actually mean something to everyone.
Do you find yourself neglecting your baby during the holidays? I get so busy during the holidays especially visiting family - I feel myself neglecting my 6 month old! It's so difficult to pay as much attention to him as he is used to at other people's houses.

What are the official government holidays in Canada? I assume the holidays are quite a bit different than here in the US, since Canada is much less of a Christian-dominated country, and has a lot of Islamic immigrants and so forth.

Why do schools only let out for national holidays and christian holidays? I have noticed over my 9 years of attending public education that they only let out for national holidays and Christian holidays.

How come Athiests can pick and choose religiouse holidays? I don't know much about religion but I do know that Athiests are people who don't believe in religion at all. But how come if they DON'T believe in religion they still sometimes celebrate religiouse holidays, such as christmas, easter..etc? If you and your family celebrate certaint religious holidays then doesn't that make it an organized religion because you obviously believe some type of spiritual something and there for you aren't athiests?

I am looking for some kind of insurance policy that will cater for me only using my car during winter, easter and summer holidays but have yet to find any viable options.

Besides visiting parks, what can I do in Disney World during the Winter Holidays? I am currently debating to either choose to go to Disney World twice in one year - we have many points to spend on a trip down twice, but that means we can't go down again next year. Because of the jacket-weather, we find that going to a water park or chilling (pun intended) by the pool would be not only be a freezing affair, but not smart. We need some ideas for activities down in the Disney area in Florida (besides going to parks, that's a given) that will keep us occupied. We are thinking about an eight-night trip, and covering each park at least once. Also, if you can tell me, have your past experiences going to Disney World in the winter holidays been nice? Thanks!
What to do with children during holidays when husband and I are separated? How should we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas while we are separated?

My daughter is not too comfortable being around her father and his girlfriend, so what should we do?

Are all holidays "family" holidays, or are they "mixed" (adult, children, combined)? My personal feelings on the issue is that holidays like Valentine's Day, New Years Eve, Saint Patrick's Day are "adult" holidays and children can enjoy them when they grow up. Holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, are primarily "family" holidays. Birthdays belong to the individual. I do have friends that try and make every holiday revolve around the children. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I also think that certain portions of holidays are for children, i.e. Easter egg hunts, pinatas, Santa, etc... Now, I realize that almost any holiday celebration can be transformed into adult or family or children. I'm asking who people think the main unmorphed holiday celebrators should be and which holidays belong to which celebrators. No judgement here, just curious as to what people think and why.
God bless the holidays,sorry Pauline? From: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 4th November 2007 Re: Office Christmas Party I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols. Please feel free to sing along. Don't be surprised if the Managing Director shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1.00 p.m. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time, however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees! The Managing Director will make a special announcement at the Party. I wish a Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sincerely, Pauline ********************************************************************************************* FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 5th November 2007 RE: Holiday Party In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're calling it our 'Holiday Party'. The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now? Happy Holidays to you and your family, Pauline ************************************************************************************************ FROM; Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 6th November 2007 RE: Holiday Party Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!!! How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?! Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the Union Officials feel that $10.00 is too much money and Management believe $10.00 is a little cheap. NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. Pauline. ************************************************************************************************ FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 7th November 2007 RE: Holiday Party What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything up for you to take home in a little foil doggy bag. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets. Gays are allowed to sit with each other, lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men's table too. To the person asking permission to cross dress - no cross dressing allowed. We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food, so we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for diabetics. The restaurant cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?! Pauline ************************************************************************************************* FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All F******g Employees DATE: 8th November 2007 RE: The F******g Holiday Party Vegetarian pricks - I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death", as you so quaintly put it, you'll get your f******g salad bar, including organic tomatoes, but you know tomatoes have feelings too. They scream when you slice them. Oh yes, I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW! I hope you all have a rotten holiday. Drink, drive, and die! The B***ch from H**L!!! ************************************************************************************************* FROM: John Bishop - Acting Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 9th November 2007 RE: Pauline Lewis and Holiday Party I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery, and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the Management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd December off with full pay. Forgot to put this on for Christmas
Official holidays? it is interesting that Islam is the fastest growing religion and it is the leading religion too, i mean it has the most believers yet our holidays are not approved/confirmed (at least in my area), but why?? even jewish holidays are considered holidays, why can not they tolerate our holidays and giving us day-offs? Do we have to request the day-offs as a personal holiday, like a sick leave but the christian/pagan holidays are approved and they don't have to request day-offs when they want to miss some days from work.. or is it only in europe and you can do what you want in the states and they pay the day-off? i randomly block certain people
Holidays is Sales Roles? Hi, I hope you can help. I've always had a role in marketing jobs where i was able to take my allocated holidays whenever i wanted. In my current sale role however, my holidays are subject to the following factors: - Make sure none of the part - time sales staff are on holiday during proposed time. (i am full time, so this basically means i cant take School Holidays off, and Mon/Fris are difficult...i.e if i do get the approval i am reminded why i shouldnt have been allowed them off) - Make sure it is not during a bad month (i.e it is not a month where sales figures may be low) - Ensure it is not Month End - Make sure my line manager isnt the only sales staff in the office (but on numerous occasions i have been the only one in the office) Basically last year, i had to take my holidays on odd days so for instance Wed/Thurs, each week and Thurs/Fri/Mon when close to Christmas. I wasnt able to take a week off because of above reasons. Is this normal?!!
What holidays are there in the year? I was just wondering, what with the wide range of religious and national holidays are there any days without a holiday? To test this theory i'm askinging whether people could post the days of holidays, (if it covers a certain period of days list them all as day1, day2) in order from the first of january, in the following format. Month & Day - Holiday - Religion (if it's not a religion just put national) e.g. December 25th - Christmas - Christianity (Yes it does include School Holidays, cos it's a holiday, hopefully i can make a calender out of this.)
Are children always included in holiday celebrations, or are some holidays adult and some others family? I posted a similar question in another section, but I wasn't getting many responses. My personal feelings on the issue is that holidays like Valentine's Day, New Years Eve, Saint Patrick's Day are "adult" holidays and children can enjoy them when they grow up. Holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, are primarily "family" holidays. Birthdays belong to the individual. I do have friends that try and make every holiday revolve around the children. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I know others who make everything adults only, with similar results. I also think that certain portions of some holidays are for children, i.e. Easter egg hunts, pinatas, Santa, etc... Now, I realize that almost any holiday celebration can be transformed into adult or family or children. I'm asking who people think the main unmorphed holiday celebrators should be and which holidays belong to which celebrators. No judgement here, just curious as to what people think and why. I'm asking for opinions, not what others do or don't do. What do you feel about it?
What holidays should i celebrate? I am puerto rican and non religious now what holidays should i celebrate? would it be weird to celebrate a chinese, mexican, or african holiday? and what about religious holidays? could i celebrate muslim, christian, and jewish holidays even if i am not religious? and virtually every holiday is celebrated in america right? because of all the different people here.

"Happy Holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas" you do understand why, right? After reading some questions and answers, I got the idea some people think "Happy Holidays" is supposed to REPLACE talking about Christmas. However, the reason people feel one should say "Happy Holidays" is to incorporate all religions and celebrations of the same season into one greeting so as not to be saying Christmas when someone is actually celebrating Kwanza, not to try to take religion out of holidays or something. There's more going on than just Christmas, plus it covers New Years which most people celebrate in addition to a religious holiday (or secular Christmas). Understanding that, does it still bother you that "Happy Holidays" is more widely promoted? [As for Christmas Trees vs. Holiday Trees, is the decorated tree a major symbol for any religion other than Christian and secular Christmas? If not, there's no need for the switch to "Holiday Trees". I'm just not aware of any other use of the symbol (and know it started with pagans), so let me know if I'm wrong here.] I think some people are still missing the point. There is more than just one holiday going on. It's not all about Christians. It's just respecting more than one holiday. And Jews don't send Happy Hannukah cards to non-Jews. If they were sending a card to a non-Jew, they would send a Happy Holidays card or a card celebrating the religion of their recipient.
federal holidays? how many people think federal holidays were created to generate money for the economy?i thought holidays were about friends and family,the holiday itsself,not going to the movies or the mall,shouldnt everyone be entitled to celebrate holidays?those people working on holidays dont have any holiday at all,i seriously believe the economy would not be affected if buisnesses close for certain holidays or am i just being selfish,oh my goodness i know im gonna get it for this one.....
