actually I generally like this holiday. Thanks to its proximity to Christmas it’s relatively uncorrupted and retains a lot of its spirit ie family visiting, hanging out, feasting, drinking, football maybe (not for my family) and perhaps most importantly it doesn’t usually bankrupt you or besiege you for a month ahead of time.

If you really want a holiday that needs to be off the calendar, get rid of Columbus day. “The people are loving and gentle and fit to be Christians. They are docile and will make good slaves.” – Christopher Columbus, April 1493

turns out, they aren’t good slaves at all
