The workweek and weekend are those complementary parts of the week devoted to labour and rest respectively. The legal working week (British English), or workweek (U.S. English), is the part of the seven-day week devoted to labour. In most Western countries it is Monday to Friday. The weekend comprises the two traditionally non-working days in the seven-day week. What constitutes the working week is mandated either by law or custom. In Christian tradition, Sunday is the "Lord's Day" and the day of rest and worship. Jewish Shabbat or Biblical Sabbath lasts from sunset on Friday to the fall of full darkness on Saturday. The French Revolutionary Calendar had ten-day weeks and allowed decadi, one out of the ten days, as a leisure day.
The present-day concept of the weekend first arose from the Dies Solis (Day of the Sun) decreed by Constantine and from Biblical Sabbath. The weekend in Western countries comprises Saturday and Sunday, when most employees do not have to work. The Christian Sabbath itself was just one day each week, but the preceding day (the Jewish Sabbath) also came to be taken as a holiday in the twentieth century.
Red ribbons
Green on the corner
The mall's busy
The food court is packed
It's not snowing here in California
Let's just ice skate away
Bright glowing spheres in the window
Your dad's got his reindeer on the lawn
I'll try to keep you warm
I'll let you be my scarf
And I can be your jacket
I'll let you be my scarf
And I can be your jacket
It's cold
And we're so close to christmas
And no
It's not like any holiday
Yeah
You're making me shake
In fact it's perfect weather
It's true it's perfect weather
For us to be together, yeah.
You want a turtle dove
Well I've got two
There's only twelve days of Christmas
And I'm after you
It's a wonderful life
But it could get better
With you by my side
In a knitted wool sweater
Every Christmas song like a miracle deep
Now I'm decking the halls on 34th street
Hanging on fast to those mistletoe kisses
Scared of what would happen if the Grinch stole Christmas
Please be my scarf
And I can be your jacket
You can be my scarf
And I can be your jacket
It's cold
And we're so close to christmas
And no
It's not like any holiday
Yeah
You're making me shake
In fact it's perfect weather
It's true it's perfect weather
For us to be together, yeah.
