Hope you have a relaxing long weekend. I avoid calling if a "holiday" because, like religious observances, our market driven culture has taken a somber day of remembrance and turned it into an opportunity to shop the sales. We have eclipsed the first definition of holiday:
1. a day fixed by law or custom on which ordinary business is suspended in commemoration of some event or in honor of some person.
In order to have more of this:
7. of or pertaining to a festival; festive; joyous: a holiday mood.
I wonder how many years it will take before September 11 is formally given federal holiday status and can also be treated as a BIG BIG DOOR BUSTER occasion?
