Yeah, and probably nobody celebrates the American holiday over there that is next to my birthday either...
Although as a lot of Americans do have Irish ancestry, St. Patrick's days is celebrated. That is, as a reason to go out and get drunk. There's a lot of Italian ancestry here too, but I don't know of any uniquely Italian holidays that are observed.
My point exactly. If I wanted to get drunk, Britain kindly allows me to do so on any given day of the week, Irish or not. I thought they hated the Irish anyway, what is all this love for their holidays?
The next available holiday would have to be April 25, the anniversary of Italy's liberation from the Nazi occupation. I wonder if the Italo-Americans even know about it...
Yeah, well, I'm not of Italian ancestry, that I know of, but I wouldn't have ever been able to give you that date. Next holiday here, besides Easter, is Cinco de Mayo, which is actually a bigger deal here in the US than it is in Mexico... Go figure.
