Sunday Seven #229

Last Updated on February 26, 2012

I hope this week’s question is easy enough that plenty of people will answer. Every one, after all, likes being paid to take the day off from work, right?

According to About.com, the most common paid holidays are New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Easter Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Some companies then add Washington’s Birthday or President’s Day, Good Friday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Veterans’ Day, Columbus Day, Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and/or New Year’s Eve to the list, and a few other companies give you a “floating” holiday, which allows you to take days like Election Day, your birthday, or special days, like Confederate Memorial Day, which isn’t necessarily recognized by everyone but is singularly important to some people.

As you might have guessed, paid holidays is the subject of this week’s question!

Incidentally, though this is the spot where I would normally spotlight the first person to play the previous week’s edition, no one played, and since it was a special edition that required you to guess at something that I later gave you the answer to, last week’s was closed to future comments.

So let’s press on to this week’s!

Here is this week’s “Sunday Seven” question. Either answer in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog (with a link here), and then comment here with a link back to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name the seven paid holidays you’d offer to your employees if you were limited to giving them only seven.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.) You may include this link in the URL space when leaving your comment, or in the comment itself. As long as it’s there in one spot or the other.
