24. Well then I would suggest from that list that they drop Christmas

Jun 20

since it is a religious holiday. I know in the first four decades or so it wasn't celebrated. Congress even made a point of meeting on christmas in the early days.

The next on the list that should maybe be eliminated would be President's Day. We have had some real scoundrels as presidents, especially in the past 60 years.
