It would be really cool for some of these forgotten observances made a comeback. But that will leave too few days left to celebrate The Obama.

Boston also celebrates an Evacuation Day. That’s when all the gov’t offices disgorge themselves of taxpayer funded employees. By good fortune, it corresponds exactly to St. Paddy’s Day.

Hadn't occured to me.

Then again, I doubt that most Americans realize that the Revolution lasted until 1783.
Hell, a lot of them probably think it ended (or at least started) in 1776!

NOT forgotten by me! I blame the Anglophiles for the near death of this holiday myself (we don’t want to “piss off those Brits” do we?). ;-)
