How's this for a strange idea: a day off from work in honor of work itself?Actually, that is what Labor Day, celebrated in the United States and Canada on the first Monday of every September, is all about.The first American Labor Day was celebrated in New York City on September 5th, 1882, as thousands of workers and their families came to Union Square for a day in the park.
