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"?

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.

Yeah, I had it too. When I was first told about it I thought to myself " wtf? this has to be one of the stupidest thing I've ever hear". Plus side was I got more sleep out of it xD.

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.
