A great reminder that the macho "work all the time" attitude is actually counterproductive - not just in life, but in work.

You need to relax to be creative. Not just at Thanksgiving, or other publicly mandated holidays, but all through the year. There's a great deal of peer pressure in America to not do this, but hey - whoever said running a startup was about going with the flow? And you need to be creative to make great products and services.
