It's the day that we Irish Americans celebrate our heritage. Sadly, our ancestors decided to lose their identity and come to America. Unfortunately, here we are in the politically correct cesspool, that is over-sympathetic and over-sensitive towards every cause on the face of the earth, but there's nothing that I can do about it right now at least. The land of the free-ride and the home of what used to be a great, united nation. The America that my father grew up in and the one that I grew up in seemingly disappeared. It's getting to where I don't even recognize my own hometown anymore.\n\nAlso, about the actual holiday: They do celebrate it in Ireland. I have a friend who went there this year and he celebrated it there. He said that he had the time of his life.    \n\nSo.....with all of that being said, HAPPY BELATED ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ERIN GO BRAGH! Don't forget, make the world a better place and buy a Patty a Guinness, lol. Slan!

What does being a "person of color" have to do with celebrating or not celebrating this holiday?  The offical celebration of Thanksgiving was not established until the time of President Lincoln.  It is a national holiday when people can take time out before the real hussle and bussle of the Christmas season to get together with family and friends and set a little special time aside to give thanks to whatever Diety they believe in.  There is no harm in having a special day of thanks.  Certainly, you should be grateful for the things of this world constantly, but there is no reason why you can't have a special day.  I agree that many things happened in the past that we of European descent have no cause to be proud of...however, I am, as a 21st century American, grateful for the fact that I live in this country and not another.  I am grateful for a government that sets aside a special day for thanks and that allows me the right to thank whatever Diety I wish in whatever way I wish.  No matter your ethnic/racial origins, you should be thankful for the way things are NOW and not dwell on the past.  A Mandan chief once said  something along the lines of not dwelling on things that cannot be changed (things in the past) and living toward changing those things that can (the future).  So, have a happy day of thanks.

We have a lot to be grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving (aka Dia de Gracias!)\n\nIt shouldn't matter what country you are from or whether Thanksgiving exists in their country.  Every individual and/or family should set aside a day to be grateful for what they were blessed with.  If those that disagree believe they should be grateful for their own ignorance... by all means... give thanks.

Yes, there's a 4th of July everywhere. They may not have an Independence Day but they have a July 4th.

It is not a federal holiday in the U.S. Is that what you were asking? I couldn't be sure because of your spelling.

I'm working today, just as I have every day of the week for the last 3 1/2 months.\nI do not think Good Friday should be declared a holiday (no pun intended).  The USA is basically a secular nation, as it should be.  Look around the world and see what kind of life people lead in theocracies like Saudi Arabia and Iran, and even in places like the Philippines where the church greatly influences government policy.\nPeople like James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, though they were Christians and deists, recognized the importance of separating church and state; Jefferson created the concept for us.  They would blanch at the thought of making religious festivities into official holidays.\nThe last time religion played a major role in the politics of the West, it was known as the "Dark Ages."

There's no St. George's or St. David's Day either. Of course, this site caters largely to Americans. But is it really that important? I'm English (I do apologise for my nationality and also for how we stole all the oil and oppressed you) but I can't say Yahoo Answers not having St. George's day will keep me up at night. Why does it bother you?

I do, eh!  Oh Canada!  :)  Happy Canada Day in 8 days!\n\nI will be in the Capital, and they put on a great party!\n(That's Ottawa, not Toronto, for all you non-Canadians out there!)\n\nAnd Happy Fourth of July to all my wonderful American friends!

to be honest, i don't really celebrate lots of holidays anymore. just been really busy. but i do love this country. i'm even thinking about joining the marines after high school. i think people should know the history of this great country and know why they get july 4 off. well... some poeple still have to work on that day and any other holiday too. but you know what i'm trying to say right? \nfor ex: kids think it's just a day where you can blow up fireworks.\ni used to think like that when i was younger. now that i know some history about this country and others, i'm thankful for the things that i have. \n  SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! U.S.A

So you read my answer, didn't you? Thanks...\n\nWe don't celebrate it coz our Great Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) didn't celebrate it, so as his followers, we don't celebrate it too. \n\nIf we'd like to thank to God, we dont have to wait until thanksgiving or other holidays. We can do that in our Shalat, in our pray, or by sharing with the others, at anytimr
