All of the above. The federal government should not officially recognize any holidays (but, in particular, it should not recognize religious holidays such as Christmas).

I can't believe you whackos want to ban Christmas.
Not ban--merely end federal recognition.

If we have to retain a few holidays, I suggest that we keep MLK Day to annoy the conservatives and Columbus Day to annoy the liberals.

Where does the constitution say that?
I didn't say that federal recognition of holidays is unconstitutional. I merely noted that I believe that it is not the government's job to designate holidays: let the people celebrate or not celebrate as they please.
