Working to cover for the USA (Score:5, Insightful)
The USA thanks you so that we may spend time with our families. The average USA private corporate worker only gets around 7 holiday days off a year. Know that we will gladly cover your holidays as well.

Not quite enough said!
Where? What kind of exhibition?
Sounds like a Lego exhibition.
How do they taste?!
Like plastic I would assume.

Not at all intended to hate on USians (we're all family), but I stopped considering the USA a first world country a while ago... And things like that are some of the reasons why.

Because shopkeepers try to be inclusive. There are several holidays that fall around the 25th. Hanukkah, Christmas, Ramadan, Solstice, and who knows what else? So rather than querying someone to find out their holiday (it's not like they have tags or anything), shopkeepers tend to fall back to "Happy Holidays".
So going shopping means you hear "Happy Holidays" more often than anything else. So we mindlessly mimic what we hear and say "Happy Holidays" to one and all. You really have to be thinking to make yourself say "Merry Christmas" or whatever holiday greeting you prefer because you're going against the tide.

Erm, isn't that a bit over the top, though? I mean, whatever you think of our work and/or healthcare system(s), we definitely meet the definition as a "highly developed industrialized nation." Maybe you don't like how things are over here and don't consider them to be as good as where you are but there's that and then there are places like Chad.
Thanks again to our international friends who cover for us as we pack ourselves full of carbs! 3
Industrialized Nation - Check
Highly Developed - Errr ... Not so much.

Feasting and cooking, but no turkeys involved.
Are you referring to the turkey on the table or the turkeys around the table?

Explain for me then, why the Aussie economy is currently so strong, when we get mandatory 4 weeks paid leave per year, plus public holidays, long service leave pro-rata after 5 years service, etc?
The reason the US (and Europe) has tanked is due to the banks and wall street fucking the population over, nothing more.
