Part of me wants to cancel all holidays to stop the anti-Christmas people in taking Christmas off, and the like.

if they don't want to celebrate Christmas it is their loss.  A small group of people should not be allowed to ruin everything for the rest of us.  NOR the media.   Americans are so stupid sometimes that they don't remember holidays and memorial days on their own.  DON"T allow the media and the left to dictate our national holidays.

Having said that.  I enjoy celebrating earth day.   Big bonfires in the fire pit, or elsewhere, cookout, plenty of beer and nibblies, friends in and turning on all the lights in the house, playing loud music.

ON the Great Smokeout.... We light up.  We don't smoke, but I make an exception for that one day.

We celebrate Lee and Jackson day.  I do not however celebrate anything on June the 19th whatever that is.

The average person who is anti-Christmas or anti-American usually takes those day off. I want to stop it.

Entire Month of November: National Military Family Month.

Thank a vet and thank his family.
November - first sunday before first Tuesday (election day) Remembrance day
in honor of US citizens killed by Illegal Aliens
November 10 - US Marine Corp birthday
November 11 - Veteran's Day
November (4th Thursday) Thanksgiving Day

The President, President Trump has added a new National Day of Remembrance for those Americans (and their families) killed by Illegal aliens.  November 1.

Add that to YOUR calendar because you know the Left Wing Ene-Media will NOT.

Get the government out of the Christmas holiday. It won't be long and the feds will want Christmas on the third Monday in December so they get a three day weekend. Christmas has nothing to do with American history and it needs to stay in the churches and for the people who worship Christ.

I'm putting this together in light of the recent column by some curmudgeon huffpoo/salon writer who said, If we got rid of Christmas would anybody care' AND the fact that most americans are unaware of the holidays and memorial days that WE as a NATION used to celebrate. SO. I am enlisting your aid in putting together OUR Patriots' American Calendar.

So let's get started:

January

Jan 1 - New Year's Day
Jan 8 - US forces prevail over the British in the Battle of New Orleans Thank you @Old Ridge Runner
Jan 12 - Birth of Rush Limbaugh, EIB, Talent on Loan from God
January 16 - National Religious Freedom Day
Jan 17 - Lee/Jackson Day (OR Friday before the 3rd Monday)***
Jan 19 - Lee's actual birthdate
Jan 21 - Stonewall Jackson's actual birthday
3rd Monday in January - MLK day (optional)
January 23 - National Pie Day
January 28, Challenger Memorial day

Please let me know if I've missed anything in particular days of memoriam, celebration, observances to do with the military, WWII, and history of the nation.

Note to self: They should combine mlk day and National pie day. Nothing beats pie and milk.

You know speaking of MLK day. I was listening to Golden Oldies the other day as I was working around the house. It dawned on me that many of the "stars" that I/we listened to as kids and teens were not White. We never even considered their skin color. Nowadays with the Democrats making EVERYTHING about skin color, I now realize that many of the singers and musicians were not "White". Now I have to think about everything from a racial and skin color standpoint. As an adult, I was in a position to hire many people, I never even thought about their race, skin color nor ethnicity only their qualifications. That has all changed now thanks to the Democrats for bringing this issue to the forefront.
