The Feast of the Immaculate Conception falls on Sunday this year. In a way, we should be extra thankful, because it IS a Sunday, and not a weekday, wherein we can more fully celebrate this glorious day. Most of us will not be at work, consumed with the normal we experience during the week. Instead, its completely open to us to observe this feast day, indeed as all days of precept should be, in the manner the Church encourages and wants for us.
Recently, someone on the internet (can't quite remember who it was, perhaps Dr. Taylor Marshall) recommended making this feast day equal to or better than Thanksgiving Day. Truly, we have no reason to not do this. Its Sunday. Most of us aren't scheduled to work that day or go to school. So celebrate it highly, gloriously, gathering together your family. Feast.
