Why is May-long Weekend so popular and looked forward too? After all, it isn't the only long weekend that the world offers. Why does this one have to be so special and wonderful?
I understand that it is Queen Victoria's birthday on the Monday, and though I am fond of the past queen and long weekends, I don't quite understand why this one is so much more special than any other long weekends that are attached to holidays.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the long weekend, I just don't understand why it is so much more awesome than any other long weekend (or so it seems). Not that I actually got a long weekend at all...oh well! More monies for me!
I think it's because it's the first long weekend after winter is over, especially here, so people can go outside and enjoy the weather, go to the lake, etc.
ReplyDeleteBecause its the only long weekend thats before the wasps, but after the frost
ReplyDeleteMay long weekend is normally seen as the unofficial start of summer. You go camping or to the lake or the beach or something summery.
ReplyDeleteThere are only a few long weekends in the summer months and they are all seen as a pretty big deal. People get excited about Labour Day too.
