December 25 is Christmas Day and January 1 is New Year’s Day, both of which fall on Saturday. If you don’t usually need to work on Saturdays, then Christmas and New Year’s Day fall on Saturdays, which means you have 2 less days of vacation.
With the last week left in 2021, the end of the year is when the most vacation days are taken, but this year Christmas and next year New Year’s Day are both on Saturdays, which is a big disappointment to many people because they can’t have extra holidays.
However, for those who usually need to work on Saturdays, Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays fall on Saturdays means they can still enjoy more holidays.
If you can’t even enjoy Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays this year due to flood and pandemic, the next national public holiday will be Chinese New Year on 1st Feb.
