It's the second year since we had this weird holiday introduced because of the catholic lobby (in exchange, they cancelled the right to get an extra day off if a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, so we are a couple of free days per year short overall on this <_< ) and I was wondering if there is any other country that has this as a holiday as well.
Sure.
Every day's an off day for me.
The three wise men seeing Baby Jesus for the first time is an excellent reason to have a day off in my humble opinion. ;)
It's only a day off in the Catholic states of Germany, but happily I happen to live in one. :pope:
Almost worth converting to Catholicism for.
Yep, I have off. Some colleagues are at the office, though, because of a UK-imposed reporting deadline. Theytake the Monday off instead.

Sure.
You are just answering the question literally, i.e. that surely anyone besides myself has a day off today, right? :P

Yeah, must be every young mother's dream - three old creepy guys coming with bribes (which include foul-smelling plants to smoke) so they can see your recently born baby.

Eh, she was sleeping in a barn and one of them had gold.
At least she didn't marry the 4,000 y/o father.
In iceland we take today off because today the theiving christmas troll leave town with their loot. We have to keep them from one more round of larceny.
It's a holiday in Spain as well. Some places already got yesterday afternoon too.
You get paid $800 an hour right? That is one expensive holiday.

Marty gets paid a hundred billion an hour.
Yes, my reg day off.
I don't get days off. An instructor of history has to be ready at a moment's notice to enlighten the minds of idiotic youngsters.
An ordinary work day here in Denmark...
I was supposed to. <_<

You complain when you have no work, you complain when you do have work. Jeez, are you ever happy.
:P
At what they're paying me it's a pretty negligible difference. :P
My brother in Puerto Rico gets the day off.
I do not have the day off.
Yes but it's because I have gastro. :puke:
