Christians should we have a two week vacation during Christmas?

Senator Jim DeMint from S. C. says since Christmas is such an important religious holiday to Christians that it needs a two week vacation for the Senate. So does that mean that Americans get a week off before and after Christmas? Cause I'll go uber Christian for two weeks off.

Update:

You have piqued my curiosity kelly. I heard (or general media said) it was about the Russia/USA arms reduction treaty. Which, really reduces no arms, but makes the public feel happy. I can only assume DeMint has Alzheimer's and doesn't realize the Soviet Union collapsed. If you have links that he did because of tax bill much appreciated.

    If your going to become christian for a couple weeks off work you should find another job and another religion. Christianity is not about santa or time off work. Jim deMint is just trying to get out of voting on the new tax bill.

    Christmas isn't even a real Christian holiday. It would make more sense to have a 2 week vaca around Easter time.

    Employers should give everyone 2 weeks of vacation time and they can take it when they want to, all at once or spread out. Whatever their holiday or non-holiday is.

    ok, FIRST... i think of a average approach adjustment. i could pray that the Lord replace your heart on the variety you view issues. 2) in keeping with threat you could replace once you're taking your trip in case you have subjects giving 5 hours of your 336 hour trip. including in a sprint prep and holiday time and in keeping with threat Mass contraptions ya returned 15 hours...max. you will spend 10 cases that drowsing for the period of your trip. yet even subtracting sleep.. Mass in basic terms bills for 10% of your waking hours for the period of that factor. does not the bible call us to "provide" to the Church 10% of all we've? 3) Mass isn't time spent with the Priest..yet with Christ, himself, for he's bodily modern contained in the Eucharist. keeping off church is basically keeping off Christ, who we supposedly love and save on with. If we knew that some action picture star could be at our close by Mall at a undeniable time on a undeniable day.. does no longer we make the hassle to be there? How plenty extra prepared ought to we be to be on the comparable place as our Lord and savior? 4) maximum Parishes have dissimilar centers as nicely as night Saturday centers. so which you ought to be waiting to stumble on a provider that suits your time table. think of of it this variety.. many non-Catholic churches are small and easily furnish a million provider. whether it somewhat is at 9AM..then that is once you go.. whether it conflicts with your time table. 5) ANY Catholic church contained in the international is your Catholic church. - isn't that large? you could step into any Catholic church and sense at domicile. that could desire to make it much less annoying, not extra sturdy. 6) New year's day isn't an afternoon of criminal accountability around the board. in keeping with threat your Bishop has made it so..yet in my Dioceses.. it is not. So i think of New Years is one in all those days which Bishops can electively decide directly to contain or no longer. Double examine that for the period of your Dioceses they have not replaced NYs day to an non-obligatory day. 7) Get extra in touch.... in keeping with threat you like going to Mass extra, in case you have been extra in touch contained in the congregation. Knew extra human beings.. have been extra social. Volunteered to serve coffee afterwards, etc. ___________________ yet in all of this.. you ought to be praying that God replace your heart. For it somewhat is OUR jobs as Christians to conform with God and his church.. no longer any incorrect way around.
