Go to your state gov site (ie NY, MA, CA etc...) and then look into labor laws for national holidays.

Government has no business telling anyone what they can or can't do with regard to their celebration customs.  Just leave people alone and stop being so thin skinned about everything.  I'm so tired of hearing how this person or that person is offended by the silliest of things.  If people are more tolerant of each other it might actually snowball and we could all be a lot happier.

I'll take a vacation or holiday whenever I can get it!\n\nI will have to agree with you though on the COMMERCIAL aspect of holiday. Greedy bunch of pigs!

I agree with you- it's sad that most people only associate the Irish with one of 4 things: drunkenness, brogues, the color green and possibly the Blarney Stone. \nIf we were to celebrate it as a national holiday here in the U.S., perhaps more people would be aware of the long suffering plight of the Irish people. It's indeed a sad thing that a lot of folks who dress up in green once a year, don some green beaded necklaces and drink 'til they puke- all without really understanding who and what the Irish culture and people have gone through and continue to experience daily.

It should be the most important days like when a new government/rebels/liberation force got power, or when country gained independence.\n\nNormally it's chosen by new national assembly (after surveying public), then after that 10 years, 20 years, etc if there's no more-important-event, no one bother changing it (people used to their vacation).

How about a National Horse Day where everyone who owns one pays tribute as well as make others aware of their contributions?

For some stupid PC reason it might offend immigrants (many of whom probably wouldn't mind joining in!).  I always go to bonfire night, I wear a daffodil on St Davids Day (I'm Welsh not English) but wish my fiance Happy St Georges Day (he is English) and would encourage him to celebrate it.  Christmas and Easter are Christian not English celebrations.  Today is the first Veterans day in Britain, in America they get the day off, over here nobody has heard of it!\n\nI think it is the fault of the extreme PC brigade personally.  We do Rememberance very well though it has to be said and Guy Fawkes Night is good too.

I think you should name this National Sanitary Workers Day or something. More aesthetic, I think.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!\nIt is not a pagan holiday and non-believers have NO RIGHT to celebrate or to try and change this Holiday to suit there needs, for it is 'OUR' (Christians) religious Holiday after all.\n\np.s. James P.  All of the founding fathers were Christians.  Furthermore; the observation of a Federal Holiday has nothing to do with govt and laws but merely that the majority of the public (claim to be Christian) want the Holidays to be observed.  (hence when it is deemed a Federal Holiday, people are not forced to work on those particular days. i.e. Martin Luther King Day, Easter, July 4th, Kwanzaa, Good Friday, etc.  they are preserved for a myriad of faiths and observances! So, they should not be changed for any reason.  I just find it ironic that so many faiths outside of the Christian faith celebrate this Holiday.  You will not find a 'true' Christian that observes another faiths holiday!

It would be in July - any day that is warm and sunny.  It would be called Random acts of Kindness  Day and the holiday would be to go out and do things that you normally wouldn't do solely for the benefit of making the world a better place or specifically to make someones day.  You would not get anything for performing this service other than a pat on the back.
