     Marshall University has a good idea.   
     Employees work on minor holidays others take off (Columbus Day, Veterans   
   Day, etc) and roll those into Christmas week.  From around 23 December to   
   the first work day after New Years, the university is shut down tight.     
     Every office closes, etc.   
     There is a skeleton crew in case something happens.  One person in IT,   
   one in maintenance, one in housing, etc.  Mostly they come in and warm a chair   
   for the day.  But 99.9 per cent of the employees are off.    
     This is on a volunteer basis.  Never mind they are making like time and a   
   half those days.

      Its looking less and less likely now.   
      I used to joke with the current police dispatcher when she worked in the   
   parking office I would be there forever, using a walker to get around   
   campus.  That may more truth than I expected.
