Holidays
First, are some examples of some exceptions (holidays that have reason to exist)...
Christmas.
Wether you are Christian or not is irrelavent imo. Christmas exists for a reason. There was a major turning point in our history related to a man who we know existed (science proves this). Because of this event (loosely based on HIS birth) we have a holiday. Cool for christians I guess. This Holiday exists for a reason.
Thanksgiving
Major historical event with great U.S. significance. Good holiday. A celebration of founding our country--not necessarily all happy-joy for everyone involved. I see it as a holiday of reflecting on adventurers of the past. This Holiday exists for a reason.
Independance Day
A celebration of breaking off from our evil oppressive mother-ship that was trying to ram christian values down our throat. Complete with BBQ and Bombs. Fuck yeah.
Halloween
Celtic festival origins. Historical holliday. I like this one.
My view on bullshit holidays...
Mothers Day
Wasnt created by hallmark btw. Nope. Julia Ward Howe can kiss my ass. She created this shit as some pussification of the modern women of the time. Wanted to unite women against war. Let's face it; she was lonely, and wanted a back rub. Hallmark, however, glorified this holiday into a money-making venture. Lame.
Fathers Day
Same shit, different color. See Mothers Day. Lame.
Grandparents Day
Honoring your grandparents is cool. Making a holiday for it so everyone is forced to send a card is fucked. Idiots.
Easter
HE ressurected eh? Show me proof or fuck off. Lame ass shit. Scientists around the world have been trying to find proof. It doesnt exist. Thusly, it is poop.
Sweatest Day
Hey Hallmark -- fuck off ok?
Valentines Day
Historical reference--this is good. Christian in origin. Bah, whatever. Not important in my life so I dont think its worth celebrating. I especially dont like the idea of expressing love because a bunch of religeous whackos died around that day. Yuck.
The rest (labor day, memorial day, Groundhog day, Presidents day)
Just fuckin stop ok? We can be proud of our war veterans without a holiday. We can celebrate Groundhog shadows complete with shrines and chicken blood without the need for any more mother fucking cards, gifts, dancing, and celebratory lipo-suction.
Holidays are a personal thing. If someone celebrates Earth Day--then good for them. But they better not *EXPECT* me to send them a card. I dont celebrate Earth Day. NO ONE should *EXPECT* everyone else to celebrate THEIR holidays! If I suddenly started celebrating Ugadi would I suddenly expect all of you to send me a fucking card and box of dildos? No.
So dont expect me to give a shit about your holiday. I dont need to send a card, because I dont give a shit about that holiday--but that doesnt mean I dont like you.
