#My perspective on Waitangi day: 

Do I think Waitangi day should be celebrated? - No, the reason for that is because most people around New Zealand, do! use that day, as a day off, some still have to work and go school, but really this day being celebrated is really unnecessary.Most people don't really celebrate it or give thanks to this day, and most don't know the real reason or purpose of that day.But if Waitangi shouldn't be a public New Zealand holiday, shouldn't other unnecessary holiday's around the world, and in our country be dismissed and not needed as well? - Example: Easter, Halloween, etc.
