Labor Day

I was doing my homework and all the sudden I wondered what Labor Day was. I was always glad in high school, Jr. high, and elementary school for any reason not to go to school but never gave it much thought to why Labor Day is a holiday. What kind of holiday is named after work?


So I googled it and it said that it is always the first Monday in September and it sought to create a day off for the working citizens. Labor Day is a federal holiday so schools and people who work for the government have it off, but most businesses are open on Labor Day. It basically serves no real purpose but to give some people a free day to have to themselves.


It's kind of pathetic that it took me this long to want to know what the reason behind Labor Day is. It is interesting little fact to know. If you didn't know, now you do. If you did know, you were one step ahead of me, Go you! Any way,
Happy Labor Day!
