I don’t get Juneteenth but I didn’t have to, it doesn’t affect me. Although personally I think the name is weird - it’s definitely grammatically incorrect. But whatever, y’all have fun. I like Mac’n’cheese though.
It’s a celebration of freedom? What’s there to get?
My only gripe is I can never remember the number, and there are several teenths. I’m bad with dates. July 4th is idiot proof.
Yeah, One of the vendors I work with emailed me to let me know they’d be off that day and I had to look it up. It would have been the same if it was called abolition day or something like that but there’s something a little annoying about the fact that they made it halfway with putting the date in the name.
It’s just the “Nine” in nineteenth (a word that only has long vowels) replaced with June. June 19th turned into a single word. It specifically celebrates the day slavery was abolished in Texas.

That is a good point. I guess they should deal with the holiday like Halloween or Christmas, celebrate it when everyone else does.
