Laura D's Guide to American Holidays

I've been an American resident for more than a year now, and thought it's time I share my expert knowledge of American culture with you all. Hope you enjoy the following facts.

• St Patrick's Day - A day where everyone in America attempts to get more drunk than they have ever been before. Or as we call it in Scotland - Friday. .....and Saturday.
• Memorial Day - The day Americans suddenly remember they have outdoor grills.
• Thanksgiving - The day when everyone in America eats til their belt buckles explode and then argue with family. So I'm yet to find out how it's different from any other day in America...
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• July 4th - The day that celebrates America becoming independent from England. Or as we call it in Scotland "The next election".
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• Super Bowl Sunday - A day that celebrates commercials. Got it's name from the fact you must eat chicken wings and other goodies from a huge bowl. A SUPER bowl, if you will.
