So how do we observe this sacred day today? We do it with relaxation. It’s a paradox, really. We celebrate hard work by doing absolutely nothing work-related. It’s beautiful.
You might fire up the grill. You might hit the pool. Or, like many of us, you might spend the day pretending to ignore your email while secretly checking it under the table. Don’t lie. You know you do it.
WE WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH, IN OBSERVANCE OF LABOR DAY
But here’s the secret sauce: the best observance is to actually thank someone. Your mail carrier. The person bagging your groceries. Your coworker who never steals your lunch from the fridge. A simple "Hey, happy Labor Day" can mean a lot.
The Great Wardrobe Debate
Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. The white pants rule. You know what I’m talking about. Fashion "experts" say you can’t wear white after Labor Day. Who made that rule? A grumpy Victorian aristocrat? It’s nonsense.
Wear white whenever you want. I wore white jeans in November once. It was a rainy Tuesday. No one arrested me. The real observance is wearing whatever makes you feel powerful. Or comfortable. Both are valid.
