A friend sent this to me just in case we all forget but needless to say I hate the Idea of moving holidays for the comfort of having along weekend. Suffice to say a holiday is meant to remember an event that happened in that particular day, so i believe that changing it for the purpose of comfort defeats the idea of remembering it. But what can you do about it when its citizenry is apathetic enough to even make an effort to remember them? Anyway enjoy your holidays!
