Well, I like to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, Savannah for St. Patricks........and I love to do it big for New Years..........I am certainly not an idiot, or a dork....and I can hold my alcohol just fine. Please don't stereotype people that like to engage in some of these once a year happenings just because you don't like to.

What does that even mean, "all for amateurs"??

It's called having a good time.

I am talking about the people who NEVER go out except on (insert big holiday here). They think they have to because it's (insert big holiday here) so they do, and make asses of themselves in the process. Anyone who's been to the Pgh St Patrick's Day parade (or in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras) knows the types I'm talking about.

I didn't say I didn't go out at all, but that if I do, it's not the place that is yelling OMG FREE MARDI GRAS BEADS AND SHOTS FOR GIRLS WHO SHOW THEIR BAZOOMS. Too many people think that's all those holidays are about.

In my understanding, December 25th wasn't originally of special importance to anyone except pagans, and then only when the Solstice happened to fall on that day.

correct, but i think the way the old, old calendar was set up, it fell almost always on the 25th
