Yeah, but our usual MO is to pick a holiday and celebrate it in a strange way (like the people who think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independance Day) while also simultaneously encouraging awful stereotypes about the culture being "celebrated."

CNY is not a drinking holiday? Am I doing it wrong?
- Jessie
Well, it's not really an American drinking holiday, as far as I know.

Is there such a thing as an American holiday that doesn't involve/require drinking? ;)
- Victor Ganata
Doesn't work for Cinco de Mayo.

@Steven - how much worse would it be without Cinco de Mayo, though?
- Andrew C (✔)
Hard to say; there's still tequila and Mexican food.
