It's still called Columbus Day

Most holidays you have a alcohol and a toast but this one you're supposed to go out and buy a new mattress.

I think for many Italian-Americans it's a day of pride. For everyone else, it's pretty much ignored.

I absolutely agree, Sunny. Its those pesky people that just seem to find annoyance at every turn..but if they didn't, I wouldn't have had the fun of dusting off my books on Columbus and amusing myself.

Just one more! My wife graduated from Christopher Columbus HS. I can hear their cheer leaders now, "Go Indigenous Native American! "Give me an I.." :laugh:

It is a day of pride for Italian Americans. Thanks for pointing that out and reminding us, Sunny. :love_heart:

Depending on what's in the mail, that could be a good thing. :topsy_turvy:

I think I'm going to go celebrate Columbus day at the mall. I'll "discover" Macys and then just take whatever I want. Think the mall cops will buy that?
