It might be worth to defined them. > Problem is they vary so damn much. Nobody seems to be able to decide whether Robert E. Lee Day should be celebrated or not, or even what month it falls on, much less whether it happens on the same day of the week or the same day of the month each year. A similar but more visible issue comes up with Columbus Day: Despite being a federal holiday, it's not uniformly observed nationwide (and some places (including Seattle) that previously opted not to observe it have since started observing Native American Day or Aboriginal Day on the same date instead), a situation that gets reproduced as well with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: I didn't even know it was a day people actually get off for until I left Oregon, it's about as relevant in that state as it is in rural Russia.
