A big thank you to our Canadian neighbors to the north for supplying the concept of "Labor Day" to the holiday-deprived United States.Originating in Hamilton, Ontario during the 1870's as a pagan relief for chronic ennui, Labor Day was adopted by the Presbyterian Church in 1902 as a one of only 17 autumnal high holy days.
