peorge, The topic at hand is the granular timeframe of EID. We're talking a short number of days as a holiday. The EID delay is only valid for a couple of days. So that's what we can assume. Yes, if you were an auditing firm and Christmas (and the day before and after) were the days during which your client wanted to make some changes to the audit you had given them.... they'd have to wait. Same idea right now for SLJB with EID.
