Have a Nice EOS Day Tomorrow
As a kid I always confused Memorial Day and Labor Day. One came at the beginning of summer, the other at the end, and with the significance of both holidays having greatly diminished, I sometimes called one the other. Even if most people don't confuse the two, both holidays have really become just the three-day-weekends that are the bookends of summer, with no other significant meaning.

For this reason, I think the two holidays should be renamed. Memorial Day should become "Beginning of Summer", or BOS (pronounced "Boz" to prevent confusing it with the person who signs your check). Obviously, Labor Day would become "End of Summer", or EOS, which would invoke not only Greek Mythology, but also provide lots of free advertising for Canon.

The only problem with this plan is that we would have to rename Independence Day MOS.
