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.
