Happy Hallmark Day!

     I'm a father of 4, husband of 1, master of a dog, keeper of a bearded dragon (a lizard)--Lord of the manner so to speak.  Today is Father's Day meaning that my  wards are supposed to pay me homage.  Bull!

     Here's a list of the big 3 Hallmark Greeting Cards Holidays:

• Mother's Day
• Valentines Day
• Father's Day

     Now, if you look at a calendar, you'll notice no major holidays around these 3 days; it's the slow season for Hallmark.  You may disagree.  What about Labor Day?  Yeah sure.  When was the last time you got a labor day card?

     I wonder why these days took.  Hallmark tried to foist Grandmother's Day, Grandfather's Day, and when those didn't fly, Grandparent's Day.  These phony holidays didn't make the cut.  I wonder what research and development are up to at Hallmark:  Boss's Day, Mother-in-Law's Day, Seat-Belt Law Enforcement Day.

     Why not Kid's Day?  I'd go for that one.  When you were little, didn't you ask, as my kids ask, why there isn't a kid's day?   "Honey, every day is kid's day."  Not only have I heard that pap, I've said it.

     I won't be happy until we're exchanging cards on BIG BANG DAY.

     Happy Arachnoiditis Day! Colin

How about, you didn't give birth but you raised me day? or maybe just a catch-all, like dysfunctional family day?

I know how about a day for all of those people that make our lives what they are....Really Bad Driver Day, Talk Too Much Day,
or Bad Neighbor Day?????

I could go on and on.....
