FirstBornTriplet Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 x_x :thumbsup: :thumbsdown: (: Yeah it is Thanksgiving in Canada in other countries. In Canada we get the day off of school. I was wondering what happens on US thanksgiving. Do you get the Thursday and Black Friday off of school? Or just one day? Also would like to know if you get school off on other coutries for thanksgiving . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 When I was in school, we generally got Wednesday-Friday off. Now that I'm working, and where I'm working now, we get paid additionally for Thursday and Friday. (My team is 24/7 so we don't actually get time off.) Almost everywhere is closed Thursday, and it depends for Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanksgiving! We don't celebrate it in Singapore, though. Not at all. :guiltysmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Same with Sweetdang here! :P FirstBornTriplet, I'm so totally uber-jealous you have a holiday! I seriously need one... since exams are still ongoing... WAIT! Actually I do have a holiday! On Friday, the day after my exams ends! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yoshinho Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 For high schools and I guess grade schools they get Wednesday-Friday off followed by Saturday and Sunday. Some jobs give day off. some pay you extra for that day some do not do much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice ☮ Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm in Canada too. I don't celebrate, but I did get Monday off school. I spent the long Thanksgiving weekend alone in my apartment relaxing, it was nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeka Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We also don't have this holiday. Man, you have a lot of holidays .. you get 3 days for Thanksgiving + Christmas holidays, right? We're only home from 25th December till 2nd of January .. Is it true you don't go to school/work if there's snow ? Like 3 feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! xD We miss school only if it's literally impossible to drive because the plows haven't passed yet. Or if there's a power failure and there's no heating. But in elementary and highschool, we used to get snowdays more often. Now in college, we basically just don't close >_< And I've personally never missed work on account of snow. Many schools will accommodate for 1-2 snow days throughout the year, and if the don't get used up, then we get them off at the end of the year (well, that's how it was in m old school anway :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
