>Which is not a lot of vacation and way too much work.

Um, the average American worker gets 10 days of vacation a year and many get far less than that.

Many many many Americans work holidays too, I just worked my 13th Thanksgiving in a row.

You're responding to someone saying "this is too much work" by saying you work holidays too (and that this is apparently normal). You've succeeded in making it seem like you work too much as well, but not in making it seem like not too much.
