If any one of the national holidays had to be celebrated twice a year, six months apart, which one would you want it to be?
Christmas, I love it! I always wake up early and sit under the tree.
-Mark Manarez, downtown Subway manager
The 4th of July, it’s a second chance to watch the fireworks.
-Marie Joseph, cashier
Independence Day, because it’s about patriotism and not about gift giving. It celebrates people who protect us.
-Rosemary Nease, accounts receivable for the Juneau Empire
Thanksgiving. People and families need more incentive to come together and share a meal around the same table. It gives people more time to reflect on the things we are thankful for.
