Most daycares are closed today as are schools.
Now since most daycares charge a weekly fee (if open or not) parents who are not off are left scrambling for someone to watch their kid or have to take a day off.
They lose both the cost of a day's worth of daycare plus the time they have to take off. The same applies to those with school age children.
All these BS holidays amount to is "retired grandparents back to work day".
IMHO there should only be four one day holidays.....Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th of July, and Labor Day. All should be taken on the day they fall, none of that four day holiday crap.
