No, I believe that here in the US, we should only have five official holidays: Memorial and Labor Day, New Years Day, Presidents Day and the Fourth of July. Any other holiday should not recieve national recognition.

Woah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holidays_of_the_United_States

I really don't think we need St. Patty's Day observed. The country isn't largely Irish and we've already got too many Christian holidays.

But, that said, I'm all for it. My favorite holidays are the ones that keep it simple: "Get drunk and have fun with your friends." Really, they need to observe the day after St. Patty's so we can sleep through our hangovers.

What a wonderful contribution to this discussion.

As to the topic, I don't think that it should be a holiday, although I do love dressing in green and getting drunk.
