There are plenty of pros and cons. Here's a few of the cons:\n\n- Studies have been inconclusive to its academic benefits.\n- Students are going to forget information whether they are out of school for three weeks or 10. Therefore, teachers will be performing four beginning of the year reviews instead of just one.\n- Summer programs such as youth camps suffer.\n- Student summer employment will be virtually impossible.\n- Many schools are older and do not have air conditioning. Those that do will face higher electricity expenses due to summer use.\n- Band and other extracurricular programs could be hurt because of problems scheduling out of school practices and competitions.\n- If the entire school district does not go year round, parents could have students at different schools on different schedules.\n- With multi-tracking, parents could have students at the same school on different schedules. \n- Student and teacher burnout\n- Impact on tourism

People who are answering your questions (about loving the holidays) are the same people who feel we should have "Christmas in July" and put up our trees in October, leave them up until March and want to spread all that disgusting holiday cheer and shove it up our a s s until we can't take it anymore.  I hate the holidays because they're just a grueling reminder that I am FORCED to spend time with people I can't stand, eat food that I don't like and have to answer to why I hate it every stinking year (hate pumpkin pie - I think it's disgusting.  Hate sweet potatoes too).  It's also a reminder that I miss my grandparents more than anything on Earth and when they were here, THAT was when the holidays were fun.  Since then, I don't care about the holidays.  BA FREAKING HUMBUG!!!!!!!

Because sometimes there is work to be done on the holidays and someone has to do it.\n\nSome services do not close - eg. fire fighters, ambulance service, hospitals, police, phone companies...etc.\n\nAnd if the services don't stop, someone has to do the work.

Christmas Vacation. It lightens up all the "serious" situations that come up during the holidays with humor. You got to sit back and just laugh sometimes to take the edge off of life.

Depends on what time of year it is. Election time it's political and During the Holidays, it's you know Holidays. On average I would say relationships and friends and family. Just a guess though.

It's tough - because the kind of Christmas of which you speak is the kind that is built through the family relationships.  It is next to impossible to get that without the family (the tree, the tradition, the smells of cooking, etc.)  Those who have said NYC are dead on, actually, for scenes of the holiday season.  It is a beautiful place for Christmas - also Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.  I was in Venice for Christmas once and it was WONDERFUL.  They say Cancun celebrates for over a week leading up to Christmas and that it's great.  Bottom line, though, is that you will do better getting your own tree, decorating your own home to the hilt, and cooking up a storm (or ordering cooking up a storm) in for all the friends you have that don't have family around.

I'll list a few things about it - you can be the judge if it's positive or negative.  \n\n1.  If you do bookkeeping, it can be repetitive, same thing every month\n2.  You will deal with the public alot if you work at a CPA office \n3.  Tax season usually means long work hours and you will most likely not be able to take any vacation/days off from Jan - April
