Hi, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their loved ones and have lots of leftover turkey for sandwiches. My question is - I used to live in the States a long time ago and I don't ever remember getting the Friday after Thanksgiving as a holiday... are they doing that now - or is that a company thing? Just curious, because we watched the news and they mentioned that a lot of U.S. people were shopping for bargains day after Turkey Day.

It is a school holiday, but not any other kind. :-6

School holidays rule!

Thanks chosingirl, thats what I was sort of thinking too.

I don't work the day after Thanksgiving...think its a Company thing too....I was going to suggest that it was Federal Holiday, but the US Postal service was in operation today....

It's not a Federal Holiday, if you want it off, you have to take it off your leave time.

That's nice of your work, Wendy!

Its our God given right to have the Fri after Thanksgiving off.

If Im not mistaken its in the constitution.

My mom always requested it off, so she could shop, not me

Wish I could be there for some retail therapy, I need it...





find me here

It is a state, city and county holiday here. (Not for me, yet again!)

But I have heard of some states taking it away or swapping Lincolns birthday or some other holiday for it.

It should be a holiday, some people have to travel a long way. Me, just from the upstairs to the downstairs, if I'm off that is. :-5
