Labor day

Labor Day, when you think about it, all I knew was that my family and i got out of school and work. Why is that I asked myself? Now i have found out. Labor Day happens every first Monday of September, it was first celebrated in 1882. It was created to celebrate the workers and to give them a day of rest and to thank them for the contribution to the economy. This is a holiday that is feudal  which is why we have the day off of school. These are all thing we forget about even with other holidays like Halloween which was originality a pagan festival celebrating magic and spirits.     (http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/) holidays have kind of lost there meaning, i say this because what use to be one of the little days you got together with your family has become very commercialized, meaning lost to gifts and candy.  This is why we need to stop and think nabout what we are celebrating on a holiday the true meaning of one thing or what the world is telling us to celebrate.
