Why celebrate Christmas? Since it's not a U.S. holiday nor does it have anything to do with the U.S. Period.My point is, if we don't celebrate those other ties (except for Columbus Day), why celebrate Cinco de Mayo, since it's not a U.S. holiday nor does it have anything to do with the U.S. period.
Happy Cinco de Mayo y'all!!

But it is a religious holiday that the vast majority of Americans observe, and would regardless of whether the government acknowledged it at all.Why celebrate Christmas?

Not a great comparison.
That and Christmas is generally celebrated as a time to get together and spend time with friends and family, not get shit faced off of tequila and Corona.But it is a religious holiday that the vast majority of Americans observe, and would regardless of whether the government acknowledged it at all.Why celebrate Christmas?

While St. Patrick's day would be a greater comparison, I feel Christmas still stands for both it and Cinco de Mayo are celebrated by various US citizens (one more than the other) for their cultural aspects. Enough deem their southern heritage and history important enoguh to preserve, so they decide to celebrate regardless of how relevant it is for all the rest of the nation. "Any reason for drinking is a good reason", so others celebrate with them.But it is a religious holiday that the vast majority of Americans observe, and would regardless of whether the government acknowledged it at all.Why celebrate Christmas?

Ah..gotta love the randomness and craziness and...pretty interesting discussion this generated. Of course at this point, nothing about this forum surprises me. I would to throw my two cents in but...truthfully, I'm just too tired after the final from hell. Think I'll just get hammered with my buds tonight. Hooray for seis de mayo!!!

It's more like going to Mexico and celebrating Millard Fillmore opening up Japan to foreign trade.I agree. We're in the USA, not Mexico, so what's the point of celebrating it? That's like going to Mexico on July 4th, and celebrating the United States's Independence Day.

I don't need an excuse for myself to get drunk. I need an excuse for the RCMP when I get pulled over doing 180 on the highway.Since when do Canadians need an excuse?Screw serious, I'm Canadian and I still use it as an excuse to get hammered.
OK. pants it. I lied. It's drum and bass. What you gonna do?
