How to Labor Day in Houston, Like a Boss!

As I mature I really come to appreciate holidays (where I can stay home) like Labor Day in Houston. You know, the fun ones? I like that it’s all-inclusive, involves food, no presents, and you can enjoy some nice sales without family/patriotic/whatever guilt. So let’s get ready to kick back, relax, and have an awesome day!

HOW TO CELEBRATE

Attend/ Host a Party

Party Like You Have the Day Off! The most popular past time, for this holiday, is not laboring and this is usually done in the form of the casual gathering and/or hitting some sales (it’s a great time to buy appliances). If you are lucky enough to be invited to a party you get to do a whole lot less laboring but if you enjoy that sort of thing here are some fun ideas for hosting your own party:

Easy Decorating Ideas

• Stick Flags
• Easy American Flag DIY Lanterns
• Painted Lawn Stars
