Monday Holidays

Why do we have so many Monday holidays? 

Not something people really complain about until you have Monday as one of your off work days (Saturday and Monday for me) and realize that you don't really feel like you are celebrating a holiday when it doesn't come with a day off work.

To add one of our traveling holidays (July 4th) to the Monday rotation this year really means I don't feel like many holidays come. 

I want more midweek holidays!
