For most Americans - RealityCheck

Posted: Nov 19th, 2017 - 4:58 pm In Reply to: Yes, Happy Glutton Day - We the greedy will celebrate!!!

For most Americans, holidays are just a day to get off from work.

For those of you who get more meaning out of them, good for you. But, again, it's all about the day off for most.
