Inneklemt dag

In Norway, whenever a holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, it is common to take an extra day off from work or school, to avoid working for a single day before taking more time off as soon as the weekend arrives. The phenomenon is known as inneklemt dag (m), “squeezed in day”. Often the resulting three or four days of mini vacation is known as langhelg (m/f), “long weekend”.

This May, there has been particularly many of them:

Tuesday May 1 was International Workers' Day, and caused April 30th to be inneklemt.

May 10 was the Feast of the Ascension, making Friday impractical to work on.

May 17 is the Norwegian Constitution Day, making a lot of people happy to take time off from work on Friday.

Whit Monday (Pentecost Monday) occurs on May 21 this year, causing an extra long streak of public holidays.
