Planning Your Labor Day Celebration
The first Monday in September signals the unofficial end of summer for most of us. Goodbye, fireflies. Goodbye, extra hours of daylight. Goodbye, lazy days by the pool.
It’s no wonder we look forward to having a Labor Day bash of some sort each year. For some of us, it might mean trying to squeeze in every last drop of summer before the season is over. Why not make it a big celebration this year?!
While it’s perfectly acceptable to plan a virtual Labor Day party, spending time outdoors is the traditional idea. If you’ve decided to have a cookout at your place this year, you can get a head start on your preparations now. Themed parties are always fun, and can give you a concept to work around. Perhaps you have leftover 4th of July decorations—use a red, white and blue theme. If you are stuck, check out these theme ideas.
Food is obviously an important consideration for any get-together. Will you be doing all the cooking, or is a pot-luck your preference? Don’t forget to get your grill in shape for the grueling workout you’re planning. Want to try some new grilling recipes? How does grilled corn and turkey club kebabs sound?
As for activities, there are some great ideas on the internet.
Don’t let the end of summer pass you by without marking the occasion. Happy Labor Day!
