Happy Labor Day!
To those of you that hail from the USA, today marks the 115th annual Labor Day holiday. The holiday is a celebration of the worker, who was key to this country’s industrial revolution and rise to a world power.
The first Labor Day was held in New York City by the Central Labor Union and caught on across the nation after that.
To me, Labor Day culminates into two extra days off from school and maybe a family barbeque. Some good Labor Day sales in the stores can sometimes be found but I haven’t seen much evidence of that this year.
Cheers!

The end of summer, but still some time for flip flops! Family friends and time off for resting and relaxing! That’s Labor Day!
