Long weekend?
Hmmm, let's see... Monday, December 5 is Martin Van Buren's birthday (1782)... and Strom Thurmond's (1902). Both good excuses for taking Monday off, I suppose...
But wait! December 5 is the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition (1933)! Now there's an anniversary worthy of commemoration!
Happy Winter Solstice Holiday to all!
