Not as many Doper dinosaur lovers as I might have expected.

@Little_Nemo

It’s the usual problem. You ask people to name their favorite and they should only be giving one answer. And in a category like this, several people might see that their favorite was already used so they can’t answer at all.

That wasn’t my thing - I prefer the carnivores.

I don’t think Columbus Day qualifies as a national holiday. It’s not like Columbus founded the United States.

And New Year’s Day is right out. Unless you happen to be in one of the countries where a national holiday coincidentally falls on January 1: Brunei, the Republic of China, Cuba, the Czech Republic, Haiti, Italy, Slovakia, or Sudan.

Okay, I’m throwing a flag down. My apologies if I was unclear but national holiday does not mean any holiday celebrated by a particular nation. It’s a holiday that specifically celebrates the existence of a nation - usually celebrated on the anniversary of the day when a nation declared its independence.
