columbus day

There are no costumes or presents today, but Columbus Day is still a holiday worth noting. It has become controversial, but Texas might not be Texas without it.

In school we were taught the catchy phrase... "In fourteen-hundrend and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue!" - In hopes that we'd remember that Christopher Columbus discovered what we all know and love as America. Today, historians are saying it wasn't exactly that simple, and in fact, Columbus was said to be more of a criminal.
