I just have a problem when we start celebrating political holidays of other countries.
Cinco de Mayo is my least favorite. It's like a Mexican St. Patrick's Day with a heavy dose of "We want our rights". Ironically it's the celebration of Mexican independence from Spain, yet many illegal immigrants from Mexico want demand their dependence on U.S., rights and services.
St. Patrick's day is Irish, I know, but there's no political agenda attached to it. Everyone wears green, dances, and drinks a lot.
Boxing day...well...we don't do that here.
Do the English celebrate the 4th of July, Independence Day, in England?
