A new years revolution doesnt cover this one...To actually complete college. I think I get my AAS this year and when I get my BS I'll declare a holiday. When I get my MD that holiday is going to expand to a week long celebration. I might try to arrange it so I graduate on St. Patricks Day

It depends on your definition of freedom. the 17th of November (or october on russian calenders) is the parade in honor of the october revolution of 1917. It is still in practice even though communism is no longer celebrated it is used as a memorial to those who died in the revolution...anyways it is also one of the largest military parades in red square(and the world) next to the mayday parade...I mean what would instill national pride more than watching 1200 tanks roll by with 250 ICBM's loaded on the back of 18 wheeler's following

I just threw that in there to mix it up a little however my favorite holiday would have to be St Patricks day, for example some of the lore associated with Paddy's Day, did you know that there are no snakes in Ireland? It is said that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland... this is also considered an allegory when St Patrick spread Christianity throughout Ireland driving the pagans away or converting them. My family is part Irish immigrant so St Patrick's Day does have some meaning to myself.
