Could I take next Thursday off for a religious holiday?

I can use one of my PTO days for it.

The date changes every year, so I'll confirm it soon.

Happy holidays to you and your whole family!

How do you usually celebrate it at home?

My daughter will be absent tomorrow for a religious holiday.

Is that an excused absence, or does it count against her?

Can she make up any work she misses that day?

I'll write a note for her teacher tonight.

The whole family gets together at my grandma's place.

We dress up, visit relatives, and eat way too much.

The kids get gifts and a little money from the adults.

The day starts with a big prayer in the morning.

Do you have to work on the holiday, or do you get it off?

I can swap shifts with someone so the schedule's covered.

We dropped off some homemade sweets at the neighbors'.

Thanks, you too! Enjoy the time with your family.

It's kind of like our version of Thanksgiving.

Would it be okay to work from home that day instead?

I'll make up the hours next week, no problem.
