Government designations aside, would you consider Superbowl Sunday to be a holiday? My impression of most native US citizens is that if they work on Sundays, they would like to have this day off to relax and watch the game. Many do take the day off.
I would say yes, and note that we certainly don't need anyone to create holidays for us. They will develop naturally on their own.
