A day of recreation; a consecrated day; a day set apart for the suspension of business. A legal holiday is a day set aside by statute for recreation, the cessation of work, or religious observance. It is a day that is legally designated as exempt from the conduct of all judicial proceedings, Service of Process, and the demand and protest of Commercial Paper. A prohibition against conducting public business transactions on holidays does not, however, have an effect upon private business. Private transactions will not, therefore, be invalidated solely because they are conducted on a holiday. holiday noun celebration, day of festivities, day off, dies festus, feriae, festival, fête, furlough, gala, jubilee, leave, leisure, lull, recess, rest, time off, vacation Associated concepts: general holiday, legal holiday See also: absence, furlough, leave, remembrance How to thank TFD for its existence?

Or should I forsake the glittery tree decorated with lights (wasting precious energy) and tinsel (landfill fodder) and baubles (made in sweatshops), and settle on a more religious holiday centerpiece? To rehash the details, playing on Friday didn't work because of a religious holiday, and Saturday didn't work because of logistical reasons involving travel and expenses that for some reason couldn't be managed. |
