You've gotta love the French!



Jackson came home yesterday to announce that since he didn't have a holiday this week that there were two next!

The French enjoy 11 national jours feriés each year. During May, there is a holiday nearly every week (except this week, whereas next Thursday's holiday is followed by: "You shouldn't come into the office next Friday since Thursday is a holiday and no one will be here Friday either!"

By law, every French citizen is entitled to 5 weeks of paid vacation. This is even better than Canada!

  1. But isn't Jackson's idea of vacation "I have to take my laptop to the wifi cafe to read my mail"?
