Holidays in 2019 (with days off)

Well, and, of course, January holidays- it's time for gifts. This year the government has prepared a real gift for its citizens - the New Year holidays, which will last for a whole 8 days. In addition to these days, there are other holidays in January, in particular, Old New Year, Epiphany, Tatiana's Day, but they are not official holidays, so it is better to move the celebrations to the evening, and devote yourself to work during the day.
How do we relax in January 2020?
Now you can calmly celebrate the New Year and not think that you need to go to work in a day or two. Long holidays provide an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the January holidays, especially since January 7 is a religious holiday - the Nativity of Christ, which would have been a day off in any case. It is very inconvenient when after a vacation you have to go to work for several days, after which there are holidays again, and then weekends. This unsettles employees, they cannot tune in to the work process and, at the workplace, they mentally create a menu for the next holiday. Therefore, it is better to work a few working days in advance, so that you can then leave for a week or go to a resort.

In the first month of the year, January, there are not even three days of important, significant and truly festive events.Yesyatkov. But at the same time, some of them are fateful for the fate of the world and remarkable from the Russian national point of view.
The most beloved for residents of almost all ages of our Fatherland is. However, it is widely celebrated in most countries of all five continents. They begin to celebrate it on the very last evening of the outgoing year. And taking into account the fact that our Christmas holidays last up to ten days, the New Year may well take a third of them. Christmas trees, garlands, richly laid tables, carnivals, round dances around decorated Christmas trees in city squares and at home too, sparkling champagne - it’s breathtaking!
Surprisingly, the world celebrates a very funny holiday on the first day - Hangover Day. It was invented by the cheerful British. At first, as an advertisement for the use of medications and other remedies for suffering after taking too many degrees, on the chest. And then they began to call it that - Hangover Day. In this case, priority was given to a glass of strong drink, in our case it was vodka. He drank, warmth went through his body, and he felt better. We got hungover and folk remedies- cold kvass, and even more brine. Some people ate fatty foods, but in principle it was harmful.
Before they had time to come to their senses after the stormy New Year's feasts and hangovers, Christmas came. It is ranked by the Orthodox people among twelve of their most revered Christian holidays. Precisely, according to religious doctrine, on the seventh of January in Bethlehem, in the most supernatural way, a baby named Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary, whom we later began to reverently call the Mother of God. In a cave, a manger in which they put food for livestock. And among the first to see Jesus were the shepherds, who spread the good news around. Catholics celebrate Christmas earlier than Russians. But for both, this is a divine event. Festive church services are held in temples, churches, and cathedrals. People warmly congratulate each other. By Christmas, the forty-day Christmas fast ends, and therefore meals are rich in dishes; true Christians enjoy drinking Cahors, which, as you know, is a church wine drink, and is allowed for consumption, in reasonable doses, of course.
A few days after the Nativity of Christ, a holiday of absolutely amazing nature comes - Thank You Day! It has long roots, going back as far as the sixteenth century. Moreover, the Russian: thank you comes from the merging of two words God forbid. The holiday has caught on and is happily embraced by the world. Although in America there is Thanksgiving Day, and in other countries there is Thanksgiving Day. But they cannot be confused with Thank You Day. We have a "thank you!" It sounds somehow warmer and more welcoming!
Among the twelve especially revered church holidays in Orthodoxy is the Epiphany of the Lord, which occurs on the night of January 19. It is associated with John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus Christ in the sacred Jordan River. Epiphany is truly a national holiday, widely celebrated in many countries around the world. On this day, water in all reservoirs acquires amazing properties - when we collect it in different containers, it does not deteriorate for a long time. It can remain crystal clear for a year or several years. And drinking it is considered good for health. Epiphany fonts appear everywhere - large ice holes are made in rivers and seas, lakes, the water in them is sanctified by church ministers, by plunging your head into them three times and crossing yourself three times, you are, as it were, reborn. There is a rumor that the Lord, after accepting the Jordan, forgives people their sins.
On January 21, the world celebrates Hug Day. It comes from the USA and dates back to 1986. At first as exceptional National holiday, but then completely unexpectedly spread across the planet. It was invented by students of American colleges, institutes and universities. But hugs are beyond eroticism and sexual fantasies - they are warm, from the heart, with wishes for happiness, joy and always a good mood to those hugging!
Tatyana's Day! The favorite holiday of all students, Russian students in particular. He was born in 1775, when Moscow University was opened by decree of our Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. On the one hand, January 25 is celebrated as the birthday of one of the most prestigious universities in the world, on the other hand, it is a student holiday - Tatiana's Day. It would be more correct to call the great martyr Tatiana. In the distant third century, she died at the hands of the minions of the Roman Emperor Alexander Severus. They tortured her for a long time for her fierce faith in Jesus Christ. And seeing that she would never renounce God, they stabbed her to death with a sword. By the way, since 2005 we have had the Day of Russian Students.
There are still a few months until the New Year, but today it is worth asking how official weekends and holidays will be distributed in January 2019 and when to go to work after the long-awaited Christmas holidays.
Despite frequently voiced proposals to cancel long winter weekends, in 2019 all Russians working on a classic five-day schedule will receive such a coveted vacation. Let's figure out how many days we're walking this time, and what the features are winter holidays season 2018-2019.

- New Year (on the night from December 31 to January 1);
- Christmas (on the night of January 6-7).
Important! Saturday December 29th will be a working day this winter season. The country's leadership has somewhat extended the “long weekend” period by moving the working day from December 31 (Monday) to December 29 (Saturday).
The all-Russian holiday will last until 01/08/19 inclusive! Tuesday (January 8) is an official holiday, and the first working day of 2019 for everyone will be Wednesday 01/09/19.
Thanks to a fortunate coincidence, the first working week will be short, which will help all Russians smoothly integrate into the work schedule after the New Year's mini-vacation.
Another gift of January will be the May long weekend in 2019, because it was on May 2 and 3 that the weekend was planned to be postponed, which would free up Saturday and Sunday on January 5 and 6.
Vacation calendar
Schoolchildren and students are also looking forward to the January holidays of 2019, because for them the official weekend is another opportunity to forget about serious lessons and activities and plunge into the magical atmosphere of a New Year's fairy tale.

Many of the listed January holidays are popular in our country. But a good question arises: “What are the weekends for the January holidays?” Now we will look into this problem taking into account Russian legislation.
Weekends for holidays in January
You can see what official days off there are for January holidays and others throughout the year in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In particular, Article 112 of the Labor Code establishes official holidays from the first to the eighth of January. These days are the New Year holidays. And January 7 is the Nativity of Christ itself, also a non-working day.
Weekends on other January holidays, for example, professional ones, can be set independently in a particular organization. However, it is worth noting once again that Labor Code classifies only the first eight days as public holidays in January.
When to work in January?
Based on the above, we can conclude that work is not carried out on January holidays. We start work almost in the middle of the month, when all the celebrations are over. The specific number is established annually by the Government of the Russian Federation.
Postponement of January holidays
By the way, the government of the Russian Federation, by agreement with the President of the Russian Federation, annually decides to transfer non-working and holidays, which may fall on weekends, on other days, for example, on January 10 or 11, or on other months altogether.
