Couldn't spell Columbus correctly for a while. Finally remember Veterans day (even after Juneteenth).

Arguably, as of Oct. 8, 2021, it's Indigenous Peoples' Day. (What it is called probably depends a lot upon where you live.)

Arguably there should have never been a Columbus Day to begin with. The man never even stepped foot in what today is the United States.

You may want to check the answers on your quiz. Presidents' Day is the same as Washington's Birthday.

It’s easy to forget Columbus Day when you live in the western US since it’s rarely even mentioned.

Not sure what part of the Western US you live in, but I've lived in Washington, Nevada, California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Idaho, and have never come across the idea that Columbus day is unknown. If you don't hear it mentioned, perhaps the problem is with your auditory senses.

Nobody cares about Columbus Day in any part of this country from my experience. And that doesn't upset me at all.

New York, NJ, Philly and probably other places with a lot of Italians, they take great offense to anti-Columbus talk.

Should. "Juneteenth" has to be one of the dumbest names for a holiday ever.

Huh. As a Canadian I am floored that Easter (Good Friday, Easter Sunday, etc.) doesn't figure in there anywhere. Is that... not a holiday in the US? Or is it just one that is typically assigned by the individual states?

Simply not a holiday. There may be some states that recognize it, but none that I have lived in.

It's officially a secular country, so if anything it's a bit weird that Christmas is included. And there's no need to make Easter an official holiday, since it's always on a Sunday when the majority of people aren't working anyway.

If most people celebrate Christmas then it doesn't seem weird at all that it's a holiday.

So you’ll accept “July 4th” for independence day, but not “January 1st” or even “New Year” for New Year’s day?

Of course, the quiz is about the holidays recognized by the federal government and the official answer should be based on the name used by such, but I still feel that Indigenous People's Day should be accepted as a type-in since that's what that holiday is known as in many parts of the U.S. Of course, most people who try IPD will think to try Columbus as well, so I suppose that it's largely a moot point, but I still fell it would make sense as a type-in.

As a British person it shows the divide of the Atlantic. I have no idea about most of these (except Christmas and New Year). I also knew you had something called Thanksgiving that was something to do with Turkeys.

I find it a bit sad that a lot of the UK official holidays are just nameless bank holidays. Why not take the opportunity to celebrate something, even if only symbolically?

Not a federal worker and I do not get: MLK, Washington's/presidents day, columbus day, Juneteenth or Veterans day off. That's 5 of 11 days (almost 50%) which we'all in the private sector do not get.

When I left the private sector to work for the government, I showed up at work on "holidays" a handful of times before I got used to the fact that we were off/closed not realizing nobody would be there. I still come in and get things done without distractions on these days sometimes.

I kept trying to put Halloween, as it is my favorite holiday, but I didn't realize that it wasn't a federal holiday.
