Xmas Holiday Pay?

[KingstonMom]

Hey ladies, Im hoping someone can help me wrap my head around this:
I have 3 full time dcks, who pay attend m-f and pay for stat holidays. Nobody is requiring care between Dec 24th and Jan 3rd so I am closing.
Would you treat this week as a vacation week (I take 3 weeks per year UNPAID) and therefore I would not get paid for the Xmas day, Boxing day and New Years Day, or do I let them know that even though I will be closed and you dont need care, I still want the pay for those 3 holidays.
Im sure the answer is yes, I am entitled to my stats, I just dont know how to let them know this. Im sure Im just being unconfrontational and they are expecting to pay me for it anyways lol
What are you guys doing as far as this holiday season is concerned? Thanks!
