Today is August 30. In two days, the entire U.S. will be celebrating a holiday called Labor Day. But what is this Labor Day, really?
I bet you didn't know that it originated way back in 1882 when the Central Labor Union of New York attempted to have one day that the citizens could observe as a "day off" for the working citizens. This became official when it was declared a Federal holiday in 1894.
Now all 50 states celebrate this holiday. For many, it means that summer has come to an end. While many of us mourn the end of a carefree life, many of us also look forward to the coming fall when it is cooler, the fall leaves turn into vibrant, gorgeous colors, and new holidays are on the way.
So, my friends, enjoy this day for what it was meant to be - a day off to be with friends and family and put the stresses of work behind us, even for a short time.
