What is Labor Day?
- A day off with pay?
- The last hurah before school starts?
- the last vacation weekend for the family?
- another day to party?
- another day to do nothing?
I looked it up. Labor Day is a public holiday or day of festivities held in honor of working people, in the US and Canada on the first Monday in September, in many other countries on May 1.
