Jealousy

I grew up in south Florida and attended a private Christian school as a kid. Our school was affiliated with the Baptists, however the community that I lived in was Catholic and Jewish majority. I didn't have a lot of friends in the Catholic school, but I secretly wished my parents had chosen to send me to the Catholic school. We weren't Catholic, but we weren't Baptist either. Why? The holidays! Are you kidding? My mom was a public school teacher for most of my life and was off for every Jewish holiday as well as Christian holiday, but even so, I think that the Catholic school had more half days and days off than any public school. I was so jealous!

Well the Vietnamese trump the Catholics. Talk about holidays! No news this past week... another Vietnamese holiday.... Victory Day (April 30) and International Labor Day (May 1).
