a holiday is not put in place to give you a day off. i'd say you don't have a feel for a holiday not america.....

I don't think America is losing the feel for holidays, its just the demanding economy and the companies we work for. I truly love and celebrate all holidays.

NO MATTER WHAT IF IT IS A HOLIDAY OR YOUR BIRTHDAY THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO GET THERE SHARE NO MATTER WHAT

Because many people work for companies that are open to do business on those days....businesses that serve those who are NOT working that day.

I think holidays have become very commercial in my opinion especially Xmas. The true meanings seem to be fading a little.

I celebrate: Halloween, St Patties Day, and the 4th of July. ANYTHING where I can get drunk, blow things up or scare people is good to me.
Im shooting Wisky all day. Join in my fun! drinker
