I love Labor Day

Labor Day is my favorite holiday. The traditions, the history, the pageantry; it's kind of like Arbor Day, Boxing Day and Bastille Day all wrapped into one great big extravaganza.

We had our traditional Labor Day - feasting, dancing, singing, ritualistic goat slaughter. It was a lovely time.

Well, not for the goat, perhaps.

Seems to me that Labor Day, as I'm listening to it at the moment, is a holiday to celebrate the keeping up of babes - not Republican, sleep around for money, blogging, babes (I was tempted to link, but I worry Mr. Mustard might try the link at work), but the little girl should be going to sleep sort. Did Labor Day used to have fireworks? I mean, nothing in Minnesota used to have fireworks, but were there Labor Day fireworks elsewhere outside of Minnesota, I don't remember any from my parents' three day weekends when I was a kid.
