coöpted culture holidays

So St. Patrick's Day is when we pretend we care about Ireland by eating something nobody in Ireland eats, Cinco de Mayo is when we pretend we care about Mexico by drinking something nobody in Mexico drinks... what else is out there (not counting all the Pagan holidays the Christians swiped)?

Yeah, but that's our own culture. Now, if Canadians started drinking on the 4th of July and acting like overweight assholes...

Canadians drinking heavily on July 4th and acting like assholes generally started on July 1st and haven't stopped yet 3 days later. You can see them on any cottage infested lake in Ontario.
