And I celebrate new years, Thanksgiving, and July 4th. We'll usually have a BBQ swim party on memorial day and labor day. But I think it's more taking advantage of the extra day then celebrating certain things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-holidays-do-you-celebrate#post-50766 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:20:42 +0000 MH.Abroad 50766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrate:<br /> New Years<br /> Independence Day<br /> Veteran's Day (my dad is a veteran, so...)<br /> Thanksgiving<br /> Christmas</p> <p>Plus non-federal Valentine's Day. But we don't do Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-holidays-do-you-celebrate#post-50743 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:38:45 +0000 Boogs 50743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrate the same 4 as you. We don't do anything for Veteran's Day, but sometimes for Memorial Day or Labor Day my family will have little BBQ just because usually everyone is off work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-holidays-do-you-celebrate#post-50737 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:31:50 +0000 looch 50737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Celebrate like have a party or go to a parade? I love parades and picnics, growing up, we'd have a picnic on Memorial Day and Labor Day. Since Veterans Day was during the school year, we didn't do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-holidays-do-you-celebrate#post-50684 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:26:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 50684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I celebrate the same four. The non federal holidays I celebrate are Valentine's Day and Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-holidays-do-you-celebrate#post-50667 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:49:36 +0000 mrbee 50667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is a list of the eleven Federal Holidays in the US:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_holidays_in_the_United_States#List_of_Federal_Holidays" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_holidays_in_the_United_States#List_of_Federal_Holidays</a></p> <p>Of these, here are the ones that I celebrate:</p> <p>* July 4th<br /> * Thanksgiving<br /> * Christmas<br /> * New Year's</p> <p>I don't celebrate days that honor any particular person, including George Washington (or any other presidents), MLK, or Columbus. I feel like I should celebrate Memorial Day or Veteran's Day, but I don't do anything special on those days. And I don't take off for the Inauguration.</p> <p>Which holidays do you celebrate? </p>
