No. Then we’ll get stuck with Cinco de Mayo, Bastille day, and all the other non-holidays I have to wade through.

As a full-blooded Slav, I demand that Hunky Monday, which is always the Monday after St. Patrick’s Day, also be recognized.

Come to Chicago. It’s a city (maybe a state too) holiday.
There are times I wished I did live in Chicago.
If Guinness Brewery really understood what goes on on St. Patrick's day, they'd make the day after St. Patrick's day a national holiday.
Only if it’s a total holiday, no work, no school, no nothing, just like Christmas!
And I’m all for it to be sure, with me bein’ part Irish and me middle name bein’ Patrick, donchaknow!

“And I’m all for it to be sure, with me bein’ part Irish and me middle name bein’ Patrick, donchaknow!”
Didn’t you that the Lost Tribe settled in Eire?
Was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see!
Totally racist. A white Saint, from a white European country, mostly celebrated by white people! Good grief. Next thing you know, someone will want a White television network, a White Miss America pageant, a Whites only college fund.
