In honor of Columbus Day, I've compiled of other US holidays that, while currently nonexistent, could easily be seen as thematic cousins to our Columbus Day. Hooray Imperialism! (also, a very special NoPrize to whoever can figure out all of the specific dates and events referenced!)

Thom Dunn is a Boston-based writer, musician, and utterly terrible dancer. He is the singer/guitarist for the indie rock/power-pop the Roland High Life, as well as a staff writer for the New York Times’ Wirecutter and a regular contributor at BoingBoing.net. Thom enjoys Oxford commas, metaphysics, and romantic clichés (especially when they involve whiskey), and he firmly believes that Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" is the single greatest atrocity committed against mankind. He is a graduate of Clarion Writer's Workshop at UCSD ('13) & Emerson College ('08).
