You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck
Here in my country, we celebrate independence day 12 June and no we don't feast on food nor have fireworks. We do that during Christmas and New Year celebration. Hehe.

We should move Rizal Day from December where it is sandwiched and overwhelmed by the two holidays you mention, to June 19, his birthday, which is also when school opens every year. I hate the annual ritual of executing him. Murdering him. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And oh...FUEGO!
