Happy Columbus Day!!
Columbus Day is a get out of work day. (For some workers.) Get out of school day too. What a stupid holiday. I know, I know, you like that paid Holiday. It is one of those Holidays that I think is a waste of calendar space for celebrating. Instead of Columbus Day, I'd rather have Flag Day as a paid National Holiday. Or Cupcake day, or Rake Leaves Day. Just about anything but

Mr Columbus.
How can you celebrate Columbus day? Cook a Turkey dinner?, open presents?, shoot off fireworks?, give someone you love a box of candy?, drink Green Beer?, dress scary and get free candy? Maybe you could take a Seattle ferry and pretend you are on one of the 3 ships, the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria with your compass and binoculars.
If you are one of those lucky ones to get Monday off as a paid holiday, enjoy your day!
What would you like to see celebrated instead of Columbus Day every year?
Lets celebrate National talk like a Pirate day! Or Mad Hatters Day! How about Boston Tea Party day and we could all drink tea? Columbus day is a waste of calendar space. I still have to work (as do most of the people I know). My kids still have school. So what makes it a Holiday? Its like having a National Scratch and Sniff day, though that might a fun one to celebrate. :)
ReplyDeletePirate's day might be fun. We could all talk funny.
DeleteArrrrrr, To be sure. Now swab the deck me matey.
DeleteHow about Baseball Season Opening Day as a Holiday? All day games in the April sun with 1/2 price beer.
ReplyDeleteI think a whole lot of people would agree on a Baseball Season Opening Day as a paid holiday..I might even go to a game too, well, maybe not..lol
DeleteI had to work. Columbus Day is pretty dumb. I am rather ashamed that we celebrate Columbus, when a paid holiday could be spent on 9/11 Memorial Day or something that people would actually take the time out of their day for remembrance. I think Presidents' Day is kind of lame too. : )
