I had no school today due to a new holiday, "Family Day". This is new here in Toronto, but i think other places in Canada already had it. So basically we are to stay home to spend time with our families
So ye i guess its pretty cool since i didnt have to go to school
Do you guys have this "holiday"?

wtf family day? I had school today
-edit-
That's why, on the third Monday of this coming February — and every February from now on — Ontarians deserve a new statutory holiday — Family Day."
Adding Family Day to the calendar would give Ontario workers and families a total of nine statutory holidays per year, putting the province on par with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

Families like mine always have family days, no need for a holiday. You see, whenever there's a huge storm I have to disconnect every freaking thing on my computer </3
Backgammon, checkers, conga (cards game, not the dance), etc.

We got winter holiday this week, but it makes no difference as I still have to study, and go to lectures. God, I miss grade school, and highschool for that matter.
