With the arrival of Labor Day, we are starting to see signs of fall. You work hard every day. Celebrating Labor Day with an excuse to pamper yourself as you say farewell to summer is well deserved. If treating yourself to a spa treatment, time away, or new hairstyle, there’s no better way to greet fall than with a fresh perspective after a weekend way from distractions and daily demands.
Celebrating Labor Day doesn’t have to involve a lot of planning. The holiday usually symbolizes the unofficial end of summer. Labor Day is a good time to savor every last bit of sunshine and relax in the sun, lay by the shore or pool, and enjoy the last bits of summer. The three-day weekend is also often a perfect excuse to go camping. Unwinding in the great outdoors is the perfect way to recharge for the upcoming work week.
The first Monday of September has long been celebrated as Labor Day in the United States. For many people, it’s a day of relaxation. Labor Day is traditionally the last day to wear white, the kickoff of college and professional football season, and for many students, the first three-day weekend. With the kickoff of college and professional football, one way to celebrate Labor Day is to throw a viewing party. Host a potluck lunch with veggie trays, snacks, and finger foods. Gather some friends around the grill, and celebrate by watching your favorite team score a touchdown!
Celebrating Labor Day comes in many forms. In the retail world, it is one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year; second only to Black Friday after Thanksgiving. If there are any items that you have been eyeing over the summer, Labor Day is the time to purchase at a discount. Who doesn’t love an afternoon of shopping?
If there are any local farms around, the holiday weekend might be a great opportunity to purchase fresh produce and milk. Take the chance to celebrate those who work hard to provide food for our markets and eat something locally grown. Labor Day weekend is a wonderful time to steer clear of chain restaurants and visit local eateries; try something new. Surprise the palate!
