                        Well, it looks like theres no shortage of oddball holidays in your neck of the woods too.
I swear, if we have but 20 more, the US government workers could take the whole year off.
Then again, whats the downside?

                        There's one for each constituent nation of the United Kingdom, oddly
enough, the most widely celebrated is St Patricks Day - despite Irish
independence since the 1920's. It's the connection of Guinness and the
excuse to get drunk I suppose, as I understand it's a big holiday in
the United States too (as well as other parts of the world the Irish
have trodden).
St Davids Day/St Georges Day/St Andrews Day all seem to pass without
much affair as a rule, although the papers have been trying to make St
Georges Day a national holiday for longer than I care to remember now..
There is a downside to all these days, in that despite being "national days" - nobody gets a day off. Sucky sucky.
