In the United States, Labor Day is the first Monday in September and has its origins in the 1880 as “a day off for the working citizens”.

As one of those aforementioned “working citizens”, I will endeavor to spend the entire three-day weekend resting from my labors. If I’m very lucky, even spending some time in my hammock (which I’ve only done twice previously this summer). Oh, and I’ll be rewarding myself with some good beer.

Labor Day is also the de facto end of Summer, so is popular for barbecues and other festive events. I wish you the best as you rest from your own labors and reward yourself with good beer. Responsibly, of course.

You’ll need to get your own hammock, though.
