I Don't Think I WIll Be Getting Flowers This Year...

I LOVE HOLIDAYS! Especially really stupid ones. I love to celebrate, share happiness with people around me and people I love. I realize that not everyone is into holidays the way I am. as evident by this recent conversation with The Supersized Samurai:

MaeSea --- today is national cuddle day!
The Supersized Samurai---who decides these things?!
MaeSea ---idk but I can get on board with that
The Supersized Samurai---Sure. Not a bad idea. But why not every day? Commercial holidays are for suckers. As soon as they commercialize national talk like a pirate day, I'm out



 Here's my thing when it comes holidays I truly believe that it's nice to take a moment to actively acknowledge something or someone special even if you appreciate it throughout the year. I'm even a supporter of the "commercial" holidays like Valentine’s day Mother's day Father's day etc. I say if you really have a problem with capitalism and the commercialization, then don't buy a card, MAKE ONE, don't spite your loved ones, find a way to celebrate them without spending ridiculous amounts of money.
I celebrate these holidays when I can, and i thoroughly enjoy doing so. You’re only a sucker if you aren't creative enough, or know the person well enough to do something special for them that doesn't have to feed the corporate machine.


To make this even more fun check out this site that has some really weird/fun/random holidays!
