Labor Day

Labor Day is an underrated holiday if you ask me.

On Memorial Day, someone always ends up exclaiming, "I can't believe it's summer already!" It's early in the year and it sneaks up on you. It's usually too cold to do anything genuinely summer-esque.

4th of July's a good one. It's usually surrounded by a lot of extra vacation taking. Summer's in fully swing and it always feels like it ends too soon.

Labor Day's a different animal altogether. By this time in the summer, you're in your groove. Summer days are numbered and you know it. You appreciate what you've got and as such, you're not likely to let it slide by uncelebrated.

Of the three major summer holidays, Labor Day is, in my opinion, the most relaxing. Ironic, no?
