If there is one thing the workers can't stand, it is occasionally getting paid to go fishing or crack open a cold one and grill outdoors.

Pretty sure just in March/April alone in Denmark we have Skærtorsdag (Thursday before Easter), Langfredag (Good Friday), then Anden påskedag (Monday after Easter), Kristi himmelfartsdag (Ascension day), birthday of Queen Margaret (April 16th), and International Workers Day (May 1st) as paid holidays
Funs fact, in the anglosphere Labour Day is on all different days (often celebrating something like the 8 hour day) because our governments were so shit scared of Communism they wouldn't dare make it May 1
The queen's birthday is not a holiday. May 1st is not a public holiday but in some collective agreements you get half the day off.
Quite a lot of childcare places have May 1st as a holiday, which means that it's more like an unofficial holiday, especially among white collar workers who just "work from home" (like I did at my previous job) while they spend time with their kids, whom they can't drop off anywhere, because most places are closed.
Did I ever mention that I fucking love how childcare in Denmark is structured?
