There were some fairly anti-US sentiments expressed in here.
I know you were aiming your comments more at what you see as an American tradition, but comments like "bugger the yanks" and "Aren't we more intelligent in Australia than to follow the lame brain American culture?" don't come over too well.
We celebrate plenty of our own traditions, by the way. There's no reason we can't embrace a few more even if they're not 'our own', if just for the fun of it.
Just my 2c worth
