Labor Day “honors the contributions of labor movements that fought for better working conditions, fair wages, and reasonable hours. The holiday was born out of a time of immense industrial change and often-harsh working environments in the late 19th century.”
As with a lot of holidays in the United States, people lose sight of the meaning of the holiday – just enjoy having the day off from work, a day to play, have a gathering with good food, games, and more. Children who have started school for the year cheer about a day off.
Labor Day weekend has become larger and larger over the years, with parades, craft fairs, organized sports games, concerts, and more.
Whatever your form of celebration, I hope that you have enjoyed a fabulous weekend and that you will enjoy your Monday off.

A personal memory – My dad loved to say that he thought it was quite ‘appropriate’ that he was actually born on Labor Day, September 6th, 1918.

That’s beautiful, Linda. About your dad’s saying and the history of Labor Day. We celebrated with my husband’s sister and her husband who came to visit us for 3 days. My daughter actually worked all day at the art studio where she’s worked for 3 years.
