As I wrote in 2012 and still believe today, it was always confusing. Was Columbus Day the 12th or was it the 14? And which was my father's natal day? I've been mulling this all weekend, celebrating the general time frame, and rereading what I've written about him.
It's been wonderful.
Here they are, if you want to go with me on a Magical Mystery Tour of my relationship with my father.

I hope you figured it out. All I know is that Columbus Day used to be the 12th, but now it is always on a Monday for those people who actually celebrate it. Here it is Indiginous People's Day.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's Indigenous Peoples Day here, too, and no one seems to celebrate it, either. It also moved around to this Monday.
DeleteAnd no, I don't know if I'll ever figure it out. I will keep trying.
