It's my understanding that Columbus was a slave owner, murderer, and rapist.
He never found America, he landed on Haiti. He wasn't even the first European to land in North America, so to celebrate there is no mail delivery and the banks are closed. It seems to me that the I talians were the ones to first celebrate Columbus then it turned into a national Holiday.
My favorite Holidays are St Patty's (beer), Thanksgiving (lot's of food and the night before is the biggest bar night of the year) I like Cinco de Drinko or Drinko de Mayo which ever you want to call it. No I'm not an alky. I just like de brew,
