OUR FIRST HOLIDAY
In thi3 bustling buy country of
our we do not give the same at-
tention or consideiaticn to holidays
83 they - do in Europenn countries
Consequently there is less know-
ledge concerning them
For example Christmas our great-
est holiday is not a technical legal
holiday either by legislative act or
proclamation while New Years in
I such by act of congress Wo pre-
' sume that few know that Ne
Years i3 our first our oldest hol:-
j'day In fact it was made a holiday
by tho second resolution passed by
ii'tho first congress Thi3 was done
Ml
upon the recommendation of Wash-
ington who was a great lover of
t the day and its ceremonies Besides
it was very generally observed
throughout the country And to-
day it i3 the great social holiday
