It is a Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of God as Jesus Christ, and specifically in Western tradition, where it is on January 6th, the Adoration of the Magi.
It's a national holiday in various places (including here in Italy). It's pretty good, actually. I have always received presents both on December 25th and on January 6th (usually candies and similar sh!t in the latter occasion).

Libertarians probably answer Labor Day Wink

But only an official holiday in the U.S. if you are in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which were formerly Danish.

Good for the people of the Virgin Islands then, I guess.

Columbus Day, but only because it celebrates an Italian.

Sad

It is a crime that Columbus Day is a federal holiday while schools are still permitted to be open on St. Patrick's Day. Even in Chicago, public employees get Columbus Day & Pulaski Day off with nothing for the Irish, our most disenfranchised minority group.

The Irish are the most disenfranchised? Lmao
And well I agree that Columbus Day being a federal holiday is a crime especially compared to St. Patrick's Day, but not just because Colombo was Italian.
Actually, the day of Italian unification coincidentally falls precisely on St. Patrick's Day, so they could scrap October 12th as a federal holiday and substitute it with March 17th and everyone would be happy.
You are Irish I assume?
