Everyone loves holidays, whether they celebrate them or not, because it's usually a paid day off. So what's not to love? You may be from Iraq, and could care less about our Thanksgiving Day, but it's a paid holiday, so you gotta love it. And if I lived and worked in Iraq, there would be many paid holidays that I would love just as well, whether they fit within my scope of celebratory days or not.

Many of our holidays have holiday greeting cards made for them, e.g. Valentine's Day, Mother and Father's Day, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas. And we only have ten legal holidays. Americans think that's a lot, but we aren't even in the top ten. The top ten countries that are generally recognized to have the most legal holidays are as follows:

1. Hong Kong, China- 17       6. Morocco- 15

2. Egypt- 16                            7. Malaysia- 14

3. India- 15                             8. South Korea- 13

4. Indonesia- 15                    9. Chile- 13

5. Thailand- 15                      10. Turkey- 13

You may be surprised to know that in Hong Kong, Christmas is a legal holiday, a paid one at that. They also have New Year's Day in common with the US, but that's about all that we have in common. We don't celebrate Buddha's birthday, as well as any of the other holidays that they do.
