Holi isn’t even a US holiday do why is it part of the US Holiday listing?

What then is a US holiday? Note there is not a single National Holiday by any act of Congress, since Congress does not have the power to make any such thing. They decide the holiday schedule for their own employees, but congress can only enact holidays for federal government institutions.


The Federal Government employee Holiday schedule are NOT national holidays, and are not universally observed across all states. So what, by your definition is a “US Holiday”? Would it not simply be any holiday observed by a group of people? Are not individual State holidays ”US Holidays”? They‘re certainly not “foreign” holidays!


Congress also, by the 1st amendment to the constitution, cannot enact any law that either recognizes nor one that discriminates against any religion, so would not any or all religious holidays observed by a denomination in the USA be a “US Holiday”?


The USA may be an outlier amongst nations in that regard, but we literally and legally do not have one single National Holiday since our own Federal government is simply not empowered to decree any such thing.

In addition to this, federal agencies don’t even agree what holidays to observe. Banks and the post office have different holidays, and even some things like Inauguration Day and Emancipation day are only holidays for federal employees in certain states and some only in certain years.


There are hundreds of calendar apps in the app store or a user can use the apple calendar as a guide and make their own entries then turn off the apple calendar.

I’m Croatian and I don’t expect Croatian holidays listed here just because the hundreds of thousands of Croatians living in the USA celebrate Croatian holidays. But using your logic, National Donut Day would be listed here too.

By your logic, Christmas and Easter shouldn't be on the calendar because they are holidays that originated in the Middle East.


Do you celebrate a particular holiday? Are you a U.S. citizen or permanent resident? If so, then that holiday is a U.S. holiday.


And seriously, what do you have against doughnuts?

What do you expect then? Given there literally and legally is no such thing as a USA National Holiday?
