This Monday in the US we celebrate Labor Day. Labor Day, which is always the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. Traditionally, Labor Day was celebrated with a street parade, followed by a festival for American workers and their families. While not every community currently holds a parade or festival, I love the idea of a community celebration of the holiday.

More families celebrate with picnics, backyard parties, or barbecues. This year I'm going to be celebrating with my in-laws. How are you going to spend the day?
