I know the title was randomly capitalized. Whatever.
Arbor Day is actually a REALLY important day too. I don’t think they have a Carl Sagan day, or a Gandhi day… but we’ll wait and see.
But honestly… look at the holidays people:
Easter – crazy man thinks he is son of God, becomes a zombie. Bunnies deliver chocolate eggs.
Valentine’s Day – Hearst paper and Hallmark gloat and cackle like Mr. Burns
Memorial Day – oh yeah.. it’s all about memorializing. Oh wait.. it’s about Lake Tahoe and beer.
4th of July – overeat. As Gaffigan says, I guess I will have a 6th hot dog. It *IS* the 4th, after all.
Halloween – rot your teeth and destroy public property, or as an adult get wasted in a slutty outfit and be hungover at work, ashamed, the next day.
Thanksgiving – There’s a couple of the 7 sins in there. I still like this one: family and gluttony is a fairly awesome combo in my world.
Christmas – Consumerism parades under the moniker of “oh my, we’re scaling back this year” as you stay up till 7am building cheap plastic madness and panicking with every present opened because of the finance charge that will certainly hurt the next couple months.
Of all the goddam Holidays, MLK is probably one of the only one that matters, Just sayin’.
