Inmaculada Concepcion


"No man ever said on his deathbed, ‘I wish I had spent more time in the office.’"*

This may be true with the exception of people lucky enough to live in Spain who benefit from a vast and ever-growing avalanche of holidays, fiestas, ferias, and “bridges” as they are called here (long weekends).  This comes just two days after Constitution Day and only a couple weeks before the very long Christmas holidays. And then there is the holiday for Reyes Magos the first week I January.  It’s like we are running some sort of holiday marathon. See you at the finish line and have a happy Inmaculada Concepción.

*by Senator Paul Tsongas as told by Anna Quindlen in her commencement speech at Villanova
