With headline-making news dwindling to a minimum as the Dominican Republic only gradually gets back into working mode following the Christmas and New Year holidays, DR1 will compile news from Friday, 4 January for the Monday, 7 January edition of the DR1 Daily News. Sunday, 6 January is a holiday in the Dominican Republic, celebrating Three Kings Day. Many companies have taken the extra vacation days off as schools don’t start to reopen nationwide until 7 January. As the saying goes, “no news is good news,” so enjoy the final days of the December holidays. If you have been enjoying all the vacation days… the good news is that coming up shortly in January is the Our Lady of Altagracia long weekend!
