May day
Today is May Day in the United States, although I'm not really sure what it's supposed to celebrate. As far as I know, May first is Labor day in Mexico and Spain. Is this right? Is May 1st Labor day in any other countries?
I believe... May 1st. Día del Trabajo -- in Mexico Día del Trabajador -- in Spain In the US, Labor day is celebrated in September.

In Spain, the most common is Primero de Mayo, fiesta del trabajo, but nobody works!

Here in Spain we celebrate everything by not working. Aren't we clever?
