Well in the US, and especially in the south western states, today is Cinco de Mayo. For those of you you who live elsewhere, Cinco de Mayo started as a celebration of the Mexican army defeating an invading French army. It all has to do with the brief Hapsburg rule of Mexico. If you are interested here is a link http://www.vivacincodemayo.org/history.htmAnyway today Cinco de Mayo is now pretty much just an excuse for people to drink lots of beer and eat Americanized Mexican food. Sort of how St. Patrick's Day seems to be more about drinking then celebrating Irish heritage.
Getting back to Grahams post, any day that features an overinduldence in food and drink seems like a great day to wear your kilt.
Of course, everyday is a great day to wear the kilt.
