Hi,

No, you need to start the name of the holiday with a capital letter.

Is there some reason that you have chosen the Past Continuous rather than the Simple Past?

No reason. I'm having an argument.

My friend says that the sentence is incorrect.

Sorry for the double post.

So can I take it ththere sentence is correct, ignoring the capitlization mistake?

With capitalization, it is correct, but if you don't have a reason for using the past continuous, it's best to use the past simple instead. Maybe that's what your friend had in mind.

Yesterday, we celebrated Labor Day.

You mean 'Is the sentence correct if we ignore the mistake?' What kind of question is that?

He said that I must add something to the end like "at 9 pm".

I argued that the simple past does sound better but that using the progressive past without the addition of those words isn't necessarily wrong.

No, this is not a requirement. The sentence is correct either way.
