Well, you know what they say -- you either have time or money; never both.
Enjoy your vacation, and figure God is telling you that you need a break!!
Yes, the agency should have told you, esp. since they gave you a list of
holidays.
But, it is not uncommon for companies to do this, either.
Sleep in a little, go for some lovely winter walks, and let the finances
take care of themselves -- they usually do.

Subject: Christmas Surprise--Company Closed for 2 Weeks
I started a W2 contracting job a few months ago. The agency is out of state,
but the job is local. At that time, I was given a list of holidays, etc.
Now, I got a little surprise--I found out the company shuts down for 2 weeks
during Christmas.I'm so frustrated since I only figured (financially) on 3
days.
I know there's not much I can do about it, but I am pretty upset with the
agency for waiting so long to tell me and not revealing this upfront.
