Columbus Day is fast approaching. This year it will be held on Monday, October 8, 2012.
This federal holiday is a day to celebrate Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492. Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937, but people have celebrated Columbus’ voyage for hundreds of years prior to this date.
Many companies and schools give this day off, so it could be a great opportunity to take a weekend trip or do something else fun with friends and family before winter begins.
