I don't understand the meaning behind most US holidays and I was wondering, could you guys sum up your holidays for me? I'm just really curious.

Christmas, New Years, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Inaguration Day all celebrate events. Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day celebrate groups of people. Columbus Day, Washington's Birthday (Also known as Presidents Day) and Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrate people. Christmas and New Years are self explanatory along with Washington(Presidents Day), MLK Day and Columbus Day. Inauguration Day, which is only observed every four years, celebrates the Inaguration of a New President. Veterans Day honors all Military Veterans. Memorial Day honors all Veterans that have died in the service of our Country. Labor Day honors workers but is really just an excuse for getting drunk and cooking out with friends. Thanksgiving is the day we celebrate the early settlers surviving in the New World after the British screwed them over and left them for dead. Independence Day celebrates the signing of The Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. (Also sometimes referred to as (Fuck Off you bunch of English Twats Day). I hope this helps.

This unofficial holiday in Pennsylvania is when thousands travel to Punxsutawney, Pa to see a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil. If Phil sees his shadow in the early morning it means six more weeks of winter and everyone boos, smoke few joints, and goes home! Many young and foolish people tailgate the night before in the Walmart parking lot. If they get cold they go into the Walmart and warm up.

Feelin' too much melancholy to proceed. Thanks, bud. Lol. Added a "P.P.S." to say that the frickin' Canadians, up to-and-includin' frickin' @JohnnyDos and @AthenA, and @ etc.) got da better side of da "Falls," just lettin' you know about "spoiler alert."
