What holidays count for a child visitation order that says every other holiday in virginia? I have court-ordered visitation with my four-year old son, which includes every other holiday. However, we can never agree on what counts as a holiday. It seems like she always says what does and doesn't count so that her holidays fall on the ones she wants. We are in Virginia, and no one seems to have an official holoday "list." Anyone have any advice? Thanks!
How do you share holidays with your family and the inlaws? My husband and I have families that live in the same area. Our parents live about 30 min apart from each other. However holidays are such a pain planning. How does your family split holidays and if you live in the same town what would you do if they planed say Thanksgiving dinner at the same time. (keep in mind there are siblings and extended families aunts uncles ect.) not just my parents and his parents. How does your family share or do holidays?
What are the most important Jewish holidays to acknowledge? My sister is converting. I am nonreligious, and I send Easter cards to my close Christian friends/family.

What are the top paying jobs for the holidays? I am thinking about trying to get a part time job to get some extra cash for the holidays but the only places that I see hiring are department stores and they are only paying $7.00-8.00 and you can only work 15 hours a week. Have you ever worked at a job for the holidays where you made great money? Where are the best places to work for the holidays where you can make the most money? Any ideas on commission types of jobs would be helpful too. By the way, I am WAY over 18 so I don't want to babysit, or work in a grocery store.
What are you main memories of school summer holidays as a child? So a simple question - what are your memories of school summer holidays? Long caravan/beach holidays in the UK? Holidays abroad? Or just endlessly messing around with water bombs in a local park and when older trying to impress (failing) members of the opposite sex? Or did you do some work over the summer? Gardening for neighbours for six pence etc? AND do kids now have the same sort of experiences or are they slumped on a PS3 eating crisps, before going to the alps for a week?
What are the biggest holidays in the United States, in order? I am an American, and someone who isn't asked me what the biggest holidays in the United States are. Of course I know American holidays, but I wasn't really sure how to "rank" them. For example, which is the most important holiday? Or should Thanksgiving be higher or lower than Memorial day? And so on. So what would your ranking be for the most important American holidays?
How different are the holidays going to be this year? In the past year I've been blessed with 2 beautiful grand sons, watched my daughter go through an ugly, unexpected divorce, and lost a few loved ones. I'm also watching family and friends have to reorganize their lives because of the economic situation. My holidays are going to be different in a lot of ways. Are things much different for you this year?

How do you and your spouse split up holidays between the two families? My boyfriend and I are getting ready to be engaged. His family lives in one state, my family in another, I live in a third state, and he in a fourth. It's not possible to drive from one family's home to the other overnight - it's about a 12 hour drive or more. How do you and your spouse divide time for holidays, and how much distance is between your families' homes? How did you decide which holidays to spend where?

I would like to be at some place where there are lakes, waterfalls, mountains, forests, bushwalking etc. I want to be at some place which has got natural scenic beauty. Can you suggest some place? It will be good if you suggest some place where you have already been because then you know that place better. Thank You. I am relying on public transport since I don't have a car.
How to deal with Annoying People during the holidays? I know some people are going to come over i do not really like over the holidays.

What to eat for the holidays as a vegetarian? I'm a vegetarian and I have no idea what to eat on the holidays when everyone else is having turkey and ham as their main course. What should I eat that would be delicious and still seem traditional.. Preferably southern American food. I mean as a main dish.
How do you handle being a vegetarian throughout the holidays? This will be my first thanksgiving and christmas as a vegetarian. As everyone knows, christmas and thanksgiving have alot to do with food. I will be going to my parents for both occasions and I will bring my own food to contribute to the meal. Is this how other vegetarians get through the holidays? What types of food do you prepare? I know my holiday food traditions will have to change, but I'm not sure where to start.
How do your pets celebrate the holidays with you? What are in their stockings? Ours have stockings and each has a box of bark bars, some treats, chews, each has a toy and a ball. We'll wrap presents loosely and then let them "nose" them open. They get all giddy and excited when it's the holidays. They KNOW they have stockings and will be real excited to dig into them. They won't be allowed but a few treats of their choice and the rest of the treats will go in their treat box. Tomorrow, they will get some turkey breast (each one of them, no skin or bones) as a "treat" with their food. How do you celebrate?
What is the Canadian Government law for holidays? My parents received a notice from the federal government CIC office to write the citizenship exam. The company (the supervisor not the company itself) that my dad works for refused to give him a paid holiday. I thought that any federal government “request to appear” notices for things like jury duty, citizenship exam, etc automatically consider to me a mandatory holiday. I mean if a person is reporting to Government of Canada, the Canadian companies are obligated to give paid holiday for that day or period. Please give me some advice. I think my parents have faced discrimination in this company. I need to make sure the Government of Canada position on this before do anything. So, is a person is entitle to paid holidays for Canadian Federal Government orders? Any, information is highly appreciated.

How do I deal with the problem of not celebrating holidays when I become a kindergarten teacher? I am a Jehovah's Witness and therefore don't celebrate any national holidays, but "when I grow up" I want to be a kindergarten teacher. I already know FOR SURE this is what I want to be and have helped out in elementary schools to make sure it is the right thing for me. Now I am just wondering how I would deal with the issue of holidays since I know they are a big deal in the younger grades. Any kindergarten teachers out there who can give me some advice?

I mean sometimes, this holidays come late march,some other years early April,and some other times late April.I'm just wondering, the criteria used in allocating a day for the pass over, in a given year, thank in advance for your generous insights.
How do you feel about working holidays? I work in an office and they have decided the office needs to be open on holidays. Currently they are getting volunteers to work the holidays but if that fails they will schedule them. I feel enough is enough and holidays should be just that. Business has too much control over us. When events like 911 happen we are in the dark with no radio or tv to keep us alert. I think it is sad that we are letting big business control everything and our families have to suffer. What are your thoughts? We get time and a half pay also but some things are more important than money. I understand the customer is the reason we have our jobs. I am a customer also. I don't expect people to have to work on holidays. If they chose to work that is fine. When peope volunteer to do this though it eventually becomes mandatory and that is where I have concerns. My business doesn't make money they protect their own money and investments. People don't want phone calls on the holidays. I know I don't. Holidays include Christmas and Thanksgiving.
When do stores start hiring for seasonal help for the Holidays? I work as a substitute teacher during the day but I need another part-time job to make some extra money. When is the best time to start applying for temporary help in retail for the holiday season?

I have about 1 1/2 year experience working in retail.
I want to bake cookies for the holidays any suggestions? How can I make homeade cookies that are not complicated but are easy to make.

I want to give the cookies as gifts as a personal touch. Thank you in advance for sharing your recipies. Happy Holidays.
When is an acceptable time to take holidays from work? I have just recently moved up to a full-time position at work, and have 14 holidays (not including weekends or stat holidays) to use before December 31. I don't want to take my time off too soon, but my company prefers it if I use all of my vacation time before the end of the year, since there is no rollover to the next year. Between now and the December, when are some acceptable times to use my holidays?

What are some good ways to enjoy the holidays when your severely depressed? It's been 5 days since I've started lexapro and abilify and I haven't noticed anything other than a general calming feeling. My emotions are still numb, and I feel faint-headed/like a puddle of water. How do I go about enjoying the holidays when I'm feeling like this? I feel so discouraged that I won't get out of this and get back to normal cause it feels so bad. I'm lucky to have the support of my parents and psychiatrist.
What happens to your marriage live during the holidays? This year we travelled a lot, but practically never had time alone. We went almost a week without sex until hubby got me in a bathroom during some down time hehe.

Does anyone know where teens can volunteer during the holidays? I want my teens to learn a little bit more about the meaning of "giving back" during the holidays and to be a little bit more greatful for what they have that some kids don't.

Wrapping presents? Something....

I have noticed over my 9 years of attending public education that they only let out for national holidays and Christian holidays.

How come Athiests can pick and choose religiouse holidays? I don't know much about religion but I do know that Athiests are people who don't believe in religion at all. But how come if they DON'T believe in religion they still sometimes celebrate religiouse holidays, such as christmas, easter..etc? If you and your family celebrate certaint religious holidays then doesn't that make it an organized religion because you obviously believe some type of spiritual something and there for you aren't athiests?
