Labor Day!


Ahhh, how I love Labor Day! Labor Day is a United States holiday, this year it's taking place on the first Monday in September. The first Labor Day in the United States took place on September 5, 1882 in New York City. The whole country started celebrating it in 1894.

Labor Day means two things to me. The end of the summer ): and a day off school! :)

Labor Day came about as a national holiday for the working man as a result a law was signed by President Grover Cleveland. Although Cleveland wasn't really a labor union supporter himself, he said he found the holiday to be symbolic and said he found it appropriate and right. Thanks, Grover Cleveland, for giving me the day off school! ;)
