Comments on: Ascension Day: A Public Holiday in Norway /ascension-day/ All Things Norway, In English Thu, 14 May 2026 23:37:51 +0000 hourly 1 By: kathleen /ascension-day/#comment-1049687 Thu, 14 May 2026 23:37:51 +0000 /?p=41908#comment-1049687 excellent summary! I like that some countries are still holding to having holidays where they close shops and let workers and others relax. We survived for quite some time before everything had to be open all the time..now in America we can’t turn away from the Almighty dollar and relax. God forbid if you close other people might go to your competitors one or two days of the week I suppose that is the fear based strategy.
It’s disappointing it would improve people’s mental health and the society in general in my opinion if many things were closed more often and people slowed down.

You know the song?, the Eagles “ life in the fast lane/
“everything all the time” not necessarily good just because you can.
