How do you feel about the holidays?

It’s a haul of a heliday!   What’s better than a bunch of weird people dressing up in silly costumes and then for candy from complete strangers?  As pointless as Halloween is, you gotta admit everyone loves candy.

Sure, sure Halloween used to mean something.  I’ve been told it’s Celtic or Pagan or something, but obviously that meaning has been lost over the centuries.  And you know what? It’s not just Halloween that’s lost it’s meaning.  Consider St. Patrick’s day and Valentine’s day, do either of these holidays have any meaning?

Everyone already knows that the purpose for Valentine’s and Mothers’ day and Fathers’ day is to buy each other hallmark cards. You can tell someone you love them any day, but they’ve set aside a day and jacked up the prices of dollar store quality candy so you don’t forget. Isn’t that nice of them.

Now, I’m sure you’ve figured out where I’m going with this.  If holidays like Halloween and St. Patrick’s have lost their origins to commercialism, what does that say about Christmas and Easter? 

Well I’m taking the easy way out of this one.  I’m already running late, and I haven’t even had breakfast yet.
