no not excessive.
:Whit Sunday in Iceland Pentecost is a Christian holiday commemorating the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, according to the New Testament of the Bible. It is also known as Whitsunday, or Whit Sunday."

i'm not icelandic so can;t really answer but thats what it looks like. the end of Easter celebration, as in the date when the resurrected Christ actually ascended. Where as the us just celebrates the day of the Resurrection in Easter.

When you get released from captivity and subterfuge you like to stretch your legs and fingers and vocal chords some. Make sure they all still work.
I will stop posting if you send me like say 1 billion isk to this wallet though. I promise no posts on any account for 1 year for 1 Billion isk. Deal? |

Seriosuly how many holidays do Icelanders have? Seems like an awful lot to me. You? Yes, we have a lot of holidays and then we get ample summer vacation as well (normal/minimum is 24 business days per year).
When looking at http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/iceland/ then please note that there are three categories there
- National holiday
- Observance
- Season
only one of which (National holiday) are days off, and some of them always fall on Sundays (Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday). We also don't move "floating" holidays to the next Monday or Friday, if such a holiday happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday in a particular year then you don't get that day off extra in that year.
(Some of the Observance entries are wrong, e.g., we don't celebrate Valentine's Day.)
These are some of the perks living in a Nordic country.

so ..... I get 8 NATIONAL SODDING HOLIDAYS
you get SIXTEEN NATIONAL HOLIDAYS !
yes ..I understand that if they float on a weekend then it`s tough ***** .... and I get that.
interested to know though on average Icelandic companies grant their employees work holidays .?
we in the UK get the worst deal in Europe when it comes to national holidays although I currently 30 days per year from my company excluding national holidays
would be interesting to see which years all of those Icelandic national day fall on a week day though .
as far as I know the USA get an even worse deal than us .. summat like 10 days a year my wife tells me .. but they do get "duvet days " which I personally think is really good . |

The U.S. needs more, paid, observed by all, holidays. We might stress out less. |
