Meaning of Labor Day

According to the internet the meaning of Labor Day is:

"Labor Day in the United States of America is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws, and well-being of the country. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend. It is recognized as a federal holiday."

According to the Leader children it is the day that you celebrate how long your mother went through labor to bring you into the world.  I'm not quite sure where they got this from, but it sure gave them a laugh.  They also thought it was a great reason to get a day off from school.

Take care,
Michelle
