Sort of like Cinqo de Mayo is really an American (advertising) holiday that isn’t really celebrated in Mexico.

...just as St. Patrick's Day was never celebrated in Ireland until American tourists started coming expecting to see the celebrations.

I’ve been told is it celebrated in Ireland by dressing up in your best clothes and going to church.
