Family Day, wonderful, spending time with the family, kicking back, relaxing, and an extra pinch on our wallets, tax wise. I guess it all boils down to what is more important? If we expect to have an additional holiday added to our calendar were going to have to foot the bill. Also, a lot of public workers don't qualify for this new holiday; contracts and job descriptions are being reworked.
I read an article where Dalton McGuinty sated he needs to "iron out a few wrinkles" in this new holiday. I guess it wasn't as easy as they thought it would be to slap a new holiday on the calendar? =)
Personally I think Family Day is a great idea and is totally worth the extra tax money, at least for those who plan on taking advantage of this new holiday and doing something that the name implies. I really think the whole family unit is going down the tubes lately, call me old fashioned by your family is your greatest allies. However, I think it would be hilarious if Family Day became the next big Hallmark holiday, and in a few years we were buying Family Day cards, Family Day candy, and watching Family Day television specials.
Well, the first family day we are going to be having this year for me will be Homework Day, and then probably Drink Beer Day.
So whatever you decide to do with your shinny new holiday, do it to it, and get'er done.
HAPPY FAMILY DAY! haha.
A quick side note, the name of my blog is The Y - Files, and thats in sequence with my friend Jesse's blog The Z - Files.
I thought it appropriate seeing during our senior year at CW Jeffery's we were always the last two on the attendance list (Yon and Zimmerman).
When our teachers would call our names it would be the same time "Johnandjesse". If one was present and the other was absent we would probably both be marked present.
Just a funny side note.
