Around here it’s a big day of service. A lot of people get involved in one community project or another. I think this is the most meaningful holiday, because I was alive while he was alive and I can see what he did. Other famous people who died before I was alive—not so much.
However, coming as it does, at the beginning of the year, in cold and when we’re cleaning up and recovering from the holidays, as well as getting ready for the next semester which starts the next day, we don’t actually join the community day of service.
