2 weeks of hell = 1 day off

I really hate holidays at my work. I will be off on Labor day this coming Monday but it at a cost of 2 weeks of hell. I have more work to do because of the increased sales during the holiday, but I have one less day to do it in. This week I worked my but off trying to prepare for the holiday, and next week I will be playing catch up since I will be starting a day late. I can understand getting off the major days like Christmas and Thanksgiving but I would just rather work the rest of them.
