Count your blessings. Many people don't have weekends off, so moving holidays to Friday or Monday don't help them at all. Many others have to work whether there is a "day off" holiday going on or not.

That said, long weekends are awesome

I get your point but prefer Mondays off. Fridays are typically the most pleasant workday of the week.

Dude. That's like saying Memorial Day isn't about getting a great deal on a mattress.

Just skip the fireworks and you should be fine.

I went to a party and had some drinks, skipped the fireworks and went to bed at a reasonable hour since I had work today. I was just fine. A little tired, but that was more due to my kid having a meltdown at 4 am.

Okay, nerds, ratified.

The point was July 4th is a specific date. Not like Christmas where we just said it was the 25th.

I don’t know about you, but to me, freedom means drinking all day.

I rather like the split idea. 7/4 and 8/2. Both days should be about getting drunk and drowning in area lakes.

shite just have 3 July 3rds in a row then have the 4th on a Friday. We already do so much retarded crap with calendars, daylight savings, leap years, let's get nuts.

The Founders didn't bitch about the 4th falling on a Thursday in 1776. They did call in on Friday though.

Hell no. I took off today and tomorrow because it fell on a Wednesday. 5 Days in a row of no work > a long weekend.

Off topic but the Superbowl should be the Sunday before Presidents’ Day. Add a second bye week to help with the Thursday night games.

I'd like to see the NFL add another week and have two bye weeks for each team.
