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 think any time after the 1st December is fine. November is too early!\n\nMind you all the shops have been decorated for Christmas since Novermber the 1st. So no wonder people start early.

it's "Mission Accomplished" day. Today in 2003, George Bush declares "major combat operations in Iraq have ended"\n\nit's "National Love Day" in the Czech Republic\n\nit "Lei Day" in Hawaii\n\nbut most importantly:\nit's "Loyalty Day" in the US - Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

Is it even possible for changes to be made in one day in our government?  I would declare the day a national holiday, proclaiming that everyone should have fun with their family and friends.

By an act of Congress,that is both houses vote on it.  The president can declare a national holiday for a one time period, but to make it so, it must go to the Congress for approval.

I would SO like to have " the hardest working man in show business" in the White House today.  He'd take far fewer vacations and you KNOW New Orleans would get better attention. \n\nBush.... well he could sweep up after the show.

No.  It's a federal holiday.

2006 Federal Holidays"\n\nMonday, January 2* New Year's Day. The main calendar of western civilization turns from one year to a next and federal employees get a day off\n\nMonday, January 16 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. This day is celebrated some time near the ACTUAL day of MLKs birthday, but federal employees prefer three day weekends.\n\nMonday, February 20** Washington's Birthday. Again, this is not the actual birthday of our first president, but federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, May 29 Memorial Day. This is a three day weekend to remember dead people and for federal employees to get a day off\n\nTuesday, July 4 Independence Day. This day is known as the fourth of July, and so it is actually celebrated on the day of the 4th, and not the nearest Monday. It's a uniquely American fire holiday celebrating the United State's declaration of independence from the British Empire, and federal employees get a day off.\n\nMonday, September 4 Labor Day. Not to be confused with International Labor Day on May first, the anniversary of a huge labour riot in Chicago. The American Day is based on an arbitrary date, and federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, October 9 Columbus Day. A day celebrating Columbus discovering America and openning it up for European conquest, and federal emploees get a three day weekend\n\nFriday, November 10*** Veterans Day. Remember those who fought for America, and get a three day weekend\n\nThursday, November 23 Thanksgiving Day. This one often gets a 4 day weekend. This celebrates a time when Native Americans saved the early colonists from starving. If they had it to do over again, I wonder ...\n\nMonday, December 25 Christmas Day. This is the day which the ancient Pagans celebrated as the Winter Solstice when they celebrated the God of light. Early Christians then used the day to celebrate their God of Light,one of only two birthdays celebrated in Christendom, with John the Baptist on the old day of the Summer Solstice. All other saint days are death-days. This Pagan holiday is celebrated with the decorating of an evergreen tree and the exchanging of gifts for the children. (historically, it was celebrated with orgies by the adults, so the things you hear about happenning at Christmas parties have historical presedence)

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

There isn't a national day celebrating the achievements of Jesse Owens in 1936, but if you wanted to campaign for the establishment of one, the procedure is as follows:\n\nFirst, contact your local congressman / senator and ask if he / she would sponsor a bill in the House / Senate calling for a federal holiday to celebrate Jesse Owens\nThen, launch a website to get a feeling for national opinion, I would suggest a free online petition or if you have the resources, jesseowensday.com\nNext, write a letter to the White House asking for their opinions / thoughts\nand then finally contact as many news / media outlets in order to get your message across
