This ain't the thread to get into the deeper meaning of holidays in general, but I don't see the celebration of freeing slaves as a bad thing.  Yeah, some people are going to use it to push left-wing identity politics, but whatever, they were going to do that anyway.

Pragmatically, any day that Congress and the administrative state shuts down and has to take the day off from $h!tting on my rights is a good day on balance.
