Since I'm self-employed, I get exactly zero holidays and zero vacation each year. Every day is the same to me. While those around me had "Christmas" this year, I had "Thursday."
Back when I was someone's employee, as I recall I got two weeks of vacation, two weeks of sick time, and as much "comp" time as I felt like earning. (If the notion of "comp" time is not of common knowledge, say someone (like me) worked a holiday (which I always did). I would then get time and a half for that day later.
Now ... every day is just a mix of work, caring for the animals, helping my neighbors, cleaning house, and projects. Same thing ... day in and day out.
