3. A National Holiday

We all need a break from time to time and governments around the world dedicate certain days of the year as holidays to allow workers to have a day off. One of the great things about state holidays is that friends and family are also off work, meaning you really get to make the most of it.

In some states, Mardi Gras has been declared a state holiday. In Louisiana, Mardi Gras has been a state holiday ever since the then Governor signed the Mardi Gras act in 1875. Remember that the occasion is not a state holiday in every state, however, so it is a good idea to check before making any plans.
