How To Say "Holiday"
It's ... DIA de FESTIVO When you drive four hours to town and find everything closed :)

Brenda and Jesus sneered at Lorenzo when he called 16 Sept "Dia de Fiesta".
"Only chicanos say that" she said.
Personally I like Festivo because it pinpoints the day as an official holiday and not merely another San Lunes (Saint Monday is the traditional hangover recuperation day)
But yes, Navegator you are absolutely correct. I was laughing so hard when I typed it up I blew it -- please forgive me. Dia Festivo y el dia se sigue. The day after the big holiday when loud noises and sudden head movement is not tolerated.
