fourth of july eve

i've pretty much decided that the day before any holiday should also be considered a holiday. my reasoning? i am sitting here at work at 10 in the morning completely bored out of my mind because of the 20 plus people that work here there are only two present...TWO! my idea is that the day before any holiday, be it halloween, valentines, fourth of july, christmas...be considered part of the holiday as well. that way instead of worrying about having to take off work, everyone already has it off. and then the partying for the specific holiday could get underway right on the day instead of the night of the holiday or whatever. this makes perfect sense because then businesses don't have to worry about scrambling to find people to work on the monday before the holiday if it falls on a tuesday like the fourth of july this year. and while these businesses would be out the day's money it would certainly be made up throughout the rest of the year because of the workers willingness to work harder due to the days off they get before the holidays. all those in favor of adopting the "eve for every holiday" rule, say I...
I!

I! And I think everyone should have the day after off too because after staying up late for great holiday parties everyone is so tired the next day at work they might as well not be there anyways. So I therefore vote for a post-holiday day off as well. And the whole year will be more productive. I think you should run for mayor Stace.
(and by the way, you should check out Rick's recent blog about running, it's really funny)
