As quickly as the holidays have come, they are gone. It is the 5th of January and it seems like Christmas was a ways back there. New Years I don't really celebrate so that just come and goes. Although, if I think about it hard enough, I can remember when New Years " hung " around ,at least for the first day of the year. I don't miss that. The Valentines day cakes and cookies are already in the stores and it is time to move on. The spring fashions will be on display very soon, if not already.
Now back in 1971 the government enacted the Uniform holidays act. That's the one combining presidents birthdays and moving the celebration of other holidays to Monday. I remember it well when a holiday could fall on any day of the week. Yes things were not always uniform, but then, life seldom is. I'm thinking it may be time for another adjustment,to make it all more convenient for everyone. We should have at least one major holiday every month. Think about it. We celebrate New Years five days after Christmas. We need to adjust that. We could either change the celebration of the birth of Christ, we don't know the real date anyway, or move New Years to when the weather is more favorable to watching the ball drop. That would take care of two months. The fourth of July could remain but what about June ? Nothing happening in June ? Maybe we could celebrate New Year then ? But that would leave January without a big celebration. Well isn't Kwanza a flexible thing ? Not to mention Hanukkah, which seems to move all over the place. Yes sounds like we need more uniformity, the government needs to take corrective action. How about the first Monday of every month is a holiday, a federal holiday. And it is required that we decorate our homes and places of business for that. That way we can spread out the celebrations in a uniform manner like civilized people should. Uniformity that is what is needed.
Everything should be the same for everyone. Oh, what's that ? Sounds like socialism ? No, no it is being fair. The government knows what is best for all of us. We elect these officials to decide that for us. Once elected we should accept their decisions without question. They are just doing what we elected them to do after all, decide for us. Once elected they have no further obligation to listen to the little man. There priorities lie with the corporate giants and financiers of the world. They must strive to quell any civil unrest. Best way to do that is to make everyone equal, well except for them that is. Let's be fair about it. A major holiday for every month ! And it is always on a Monday, no exceptions. That should take care of the after holiday blues we often hear about. It would give us something to look forward to every month. We have the Grand Old Party, the Democratic Party and lately the Tea Party well I say make that all uniform too and call it a Party. That is fair isn't it ?
