A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

i mostly agree, but there are too many jobs that really need to ignore standard holidays (like emergency department personnel and restaurateurs/grocers, to name a couple) because shit happens. it's not often that i'm too exhausted to make a bowl of cereal, but if i'm that tired i'm going to buy some food instead of suffering, you know?
Easy enough to take the holiday on the next Friday/Monday. Back in the day everyone but the hospitals were closed for the big holidays and it was fine. I even remember when most businesses were closed on Sundays in some places. You do just a little planing ahead and occasionally borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor. The day off is a chance to relax so you aren’t to tired to cook.
The solution is paid overtime. In Sweden there are a couple of overtime categories. If you're scheduled to work on Sundays, you get like 20% extra. This stacks with working nights which gives you like 20% extra again.
Holidays count as Sunday.
