So basically Easter Monday is a holiday the government created just so they could be lazy, just like Family Day. >_>
Thanks for that explanation of Easter Monday, Atlinsmere!
I think I understand it a little better now.
Yep, I understand about governments messing with holidays. I think we have something similar here in the US with our 3 day weekend holidays. A holiday is usually only one day, but somehow the government says we need a whole 3 days to celebrate it in. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not complaining about getting a whole weekend off from work.
