The year has not yet arrived, but the question is: how much rest for the winter and May holidays, when there will be a long weekend, how many days we walk on International Women's Day is already relevant. In 2020, March 8 falls on Sunday. As they do under Russian law in this case: the official holiday is postponed to the next working day. And it becomes an extra weekend. So, in March 2020 we rest on the 7th, 8th and 9th.
When the holiday falls on the weekend or close to the weekend, it is very pleasing to the Russians. Because lawmakers take into account the fact of transfer, and citizens receive additional mini-holidays. And if you can take a couple of days off, you get a real vacation. When the holidays fall on Wednesday, this is the most deplorable option, there are no transfers, and you won’t be able to take a walk from the heart, as the next day to work. In 2020, in March everything turns out well, on the 8th we celebrate, on the 9th we rest, and only on the 10th on Tuesday we go to work.
March 8 in the world
International Women's Day was originally conceived as a day of struggle and solidarity of emancipated women. The history of origin goes back to February 1908. The official day of celebration in 1921 was the 8th day of the first spring month. And in 1975, even the UN joined its celebration. But in Russia on this day, few speak of gender rights, freedoms and independence. Rather, this is another reason to congratulate your loved ones, loved ones and relatives - mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives, daughters. Express their gratitude, warmth and respect to them. On March 8, in 2021, as a holiday for women of the whole world, it will celebrate its centenary. Not everywhere this day is an official day off. In Laos, for example, only women have a rest on the 8th, in others it is an ordinary working day. In China, the day is festive, but working, and for women shortened. And in Russia everyone was lucky, because on International Women's Day all men, including men, have a rest.
In a number of European countries, this attitude to the original meaning of the holiday in Russia is condemned. Because Russian women are more pleased to receive attention from the stronger sex, and European propagandists see sexism in this. What seems to them to discredit the original goal of the struggle of emancipated persons for their rights. And the Russian representatives of the weaker sex see this holiday as a pleasant occasion for attention, meeting with friends, exchanging gifts and warm words. In Russia, on March 8, women receive gifts not only from men, but also often exchange them with each other.
Separate days of mother, grandmother, daughter, sister are included in the calendar, but there are no so many simultaneous congratulations of women as on March 8, no other day of the year.
Spring is coming - spring is the way!
The beginning of spring and International Women's Day in the minds of the Slavic world are inextricably linked. Attention is required not only relatives and friends: mothers, grandmothers, daughters and wives. Men must congratulate women colleagues. Therefore, traditionally, congratulations begin on the eve of the holiday. Usually March 7th, but in 2020 it is Saturday, so celebrate with colleagues will begin on Friday the 6th. On the same day, corporate parties are planned, girls' girlfriends or themed school discos. And Saturday and Sunday can be equally divided between mothers, grandmothers, sisters and spouses.
Since they receive gifts not only from men, women also give souvenirs and small surprises to each other, then you can spend a Saturday day looking for an unforgettable and targeted presentation to all your friends, sisters and mother. In addition to searching for gifts and mutual trips, you can go on a trip with your family or together with your loved one. The benefit of a long weekend contributes to this. And if you take a day off on Friday, then you can fly to the resort from Thursday evening. The subtropics are already warm and you can spend an unforgettable spring weekend. The main thing is to have time to return on Monday to start work duties on Tuesday.
On this spring day, according to the florists, every second man considers it necessary to give flowers, and every second woman dreams of receiving them. But husbands know better the needs and tastes of their other halves, therefore, besides flowers, more significant gifts and expensive surprises are often picked up for this day. Those who are not so close, but who must be congratulated, have a nice present and a sign of attention.
Who will rest 3 days
Those workers and students who have a standard 5-day work week are more fortunate than others. Work on this day will be:
- emergency response services;
- shift workers;
- shift workers;
- sales and service employees, with a 24/7 work schedule.
For all employees of these institutions, weekends are determined by shift. But this mode of work is constant for them, also occurs on New Year's, May and calendar days off. They can celebrate the holiday the day before or the next day.
