Easter Monday - Make it Great!

Hey Lu and family,

I looked up 'Easter Monday' on Wikipedia and found it interesting to see what parts of the world take this day off. In the US, this is what it says: 
In the United States, Easter Monday is not a federal holiday,and is not largely observed. Even so, the day remains informally observed in some areas such as the state of North Dakota, and some cities in New York, Michigan, and Indiana. Easter Monday was a public holiday in North Carolina from 1935 to 1987. Texas and Maryland schools often have two holidays on Good Friday and Easter Monday. In some states and districts, public schools and universities are closed on Easter Monday, often part of spring break.
Traditionally Polish areas of the country such as Chicago, and more recently Cleveland, observe Easter Monday as Dyngus Day. Dyngus Day celebrations are widespread and popular in Buffalo, New York; Wyandotte and Hamtramck in Michigan; South Bend and La Porte in Indiana; and Hanover, New Hampshire. Another important custom is the White House Easter egg roll.
I don't recall having Easter Monday as a holiday when growing up in North Carolina. Regardless, I'm back to work today and wishing all of you a 'Make it a great Monday.'

Love,

Dad
