I understand from Living History that the tradition of having a day off on Christmas Day has pagan origins.
Should jws there4 take days off on XMAS day etc and work on those days.

My dad was on a construction team with 2 other JWs. I think I remember them working holidays, weather permitting.

If holidays conflicted with work days, meaning if the store I worked at was going to be open on New Years day or Easter and they coincided with my days off, I volunteered to work. Later on, I didn't volunteer because at dealerships they are so slow and all your friends off work doing something more fun, so I would rather just have the day off anyway.
