Hi there, I agree with Imani while some employers maybe generous I think most employers will just give the actual holiday off. Another thing to consider at some places of employment you cannot tack on to holidays with personal/vacation days meaning you can take the day before or after a holiday off but you will not get paid for it. Good luck to you!

Another consideration might be the availability and cost of accommodations, flights, etc., if any of your guests aren't local. In many locations, prices go up considerably and there may be longer minimum stays required for lodging over a holiday weekend. I'd be sure to consider that before signing a contract.
