Most Christian countries have a public holiday on the 25th & 26th. So in 2018, the Kaiju Kiss Kiss Between Godzilla Shirt went: less tha one day of work, two days off, and two unproductive workdays. Many companies enforced the taking of 4 days annual leave during Christmas week & the following Monday (in Oz we usually get 4 weeks discretionary leave (take it when you want)). Economically, a better idea is to make the secular Xmas on the last Sunday in December, and the following Monday New Years day. Leave the religious aspects to the religionists to commemorate their observances in heir own time. Muslims, Jews, Eastern Orthodox Christians and other religions do so every year successfully, why not Western Christianity? And to keep workers happy where public holidays might be lost, replace them with the Friday before & Monday after the last Sunday in December with public holidays. At at least that way business has two weeks of four contiguous workdays, and people can do something creative with the long weekend (nb: in Oz, January 1st is a public holiday, so that could be replaced by declaring the first Monday in January a public holiday. Thus the workers get two long weekends in a row, and three weeks of just 4 workdays).

The less said about Chinese maps and map-making the better History is also distorted in that the Chinese like to keep very quiet about the subjugation of Official Oklahoma City Thunder Basketball Team 2024 City Horizon Shirt their country for about two hundred years by the Mongols in the 12th century CE; nor indeed about their coming under the Manchu Empire from the middle of the 17th century. So far as available history suggests, it is seen that it was the visits and the presence of Jesuit priests overland through Central Asia in the 15th century that led to a tentative start to map-making in China. But the standard of their map-making first came to public knowledge during the Simla Conference in 1914, when the Chinese Ambassador, Ivan Chen, was hard pressed to produce any map that could be used during the negotiations with his Tibetan counter-part, Lobsang Satra, and the British diplomat, Sir Henry Macmahon. This became more apparent during the India-China diplomatic exchanges in 1960–61 when the Indian side was able to produce maps of the border having a scale of 4 miles to an inch (thanks to work of the Survey of India since the mid 19th century) where the best that the Chinese could produce were some maps of a scale of one inch for sixteen miles.
