It is customary for both the government and
private business to take the entire week between Palm Sunday and
Easter Sunday off. Similarly, both government and private business
are unavailable between Christmas and New Years. In fact, most
government office close in mid-December and do not reopen until
after the festival of the Three Kings, in early January. If a
holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, it is common for people to
take the Monday or Friday, respectively, off as well, in order to
make a four day weekend
