[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we have to celebrate Presidents' Day? And MLK Day? And Juneteenth?[/quote]

No one actually celebrates those as happy holidays though other than an MLK parade and a speech at work. There isn't special food, special colors and activities (like leprechaun traps) associated.

I don't understand how someone can't remember what day St. Patricks is on- the date doesn't change! Just wear green- done. No one actually cares if you don't do anything.[/quote]

Leprechaun traps are a dumb elementary school activity and have nothing to do with Ireland.  I find them appalling. [/quote]

Actually, it is Irish legend that Leprechauns are notoriously difficult to catch, but if you do, they must grant you three wishes, but if you take your eyes off of them, they will vanish, and they are good at tricking you into looking away.[/quote]

My DD's 2nd grade teacher did an awesome engineering activity around leprechaun traps.  I can't imagine what's appalling about them.  Sorry you hate fun.[/quote]
