Somehow, in order to lighten the workload on ourselves, we have decided to move it, along with most other holidays, to Monday, regardless of the real date we're celebrating.
I want to suggest that doing so diminishes the perceived significance of the purpose of the holiday and focuses too much on the "Day Off" aspect of it (long weekends, you know).
It also allows us to rewrite history with almost no challenge...which rewriting is regularly taking place.
I leave you with this quote:
"No one should be afraid to take on any enterprise
in the name of our Savior if it is right and the purpose
for His holy service." Christopher Columbus
