SuperBowl Monday Holiday
There seems to be a growing push to try and make the day after SuperBowl Sunday a holiday. Pretty interesting idea really. The Super Bowl is always on a sunday. Usually around the end of January and the beginning of February.
The point, I believe, is that many football fans go out or congregate to drink, eat, and otherwise have a good time. As a result, many are hungover or just otherwise tired the day after. And we have to go to work. Unless that is, we make SuperBowl Monday a holiday. As they kindly point out on the website, it would be the first atheletic holiday. Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. I could always use another day off work.

Somehow this seems a bit sacrilegious to me. We don’t even close up most businesses for other holidays more deserving. Now on the flip side we celebrate far less holidays than most other European countries from what I understand so perhaps we work too hard?

I could be wrong, but don’t most european countries work 4 day weeks?
