I don't really see much the point of paid holidays if they are just
going to be retail sale events. Banks, major businesses and government
offices shut down for the day and everyone goes out shopping, so the
lowest paid sector of the economy end up having to go to work. Nuts to
that. If it is a statutory holiday everyone should have the day off.
 
We observed Family Day on Monday. That is a relatively new holiday and I
was surprised to see that just about everything was closed including
grocery stores. Even my local corner coffee shop was closed.
 
If I ran the world we would be back to the Blue Law Days when everything
was closed on Sunday. No one makes any more money because stores are
open one more day. Sunday used to be a common day off when  friends and
family could get together.

YES!  Time with family, dinner at grandma's, picnic with the cousins,
etc.  Those days are gone.

If people wanted that, they'd have it.  Millions of people get
Saturday and Sunday off, yet inexplicably do not spent time as
you indicated.
