Eh, most cultures has a concept of a day off. Ancient Babylon arguably created the 7-day week with the seventh as a special observance (and the 28th as a mandatory day off). Judaism has had the Sabbath (arguably related to the Babylonian 7th day off). The USSR, in trying to eliminate religion, changed the work week to 5 days (later six) and had one day off to rest. The French Republic had something similar, but used 10 days. The Chinese had a similar concept (forgot the number of days) where people would have a day off to wash their hair (among other things).
So there’s a lot of evidence that people generally value having a day off now and then.
Anyway, I was going to end it all in a joke, but now I’m thoroughly sidetracked with seriousness. Hmph.
