It’s always the first three quarters of the year entirely where I just do not care for its holidays. They’re all boring and forgettable to me. Which is why I love the last quarter of the year where Halloween, X-Mas and X-Mas Part II reside.
New Year’s Day - Wooo…just watching a ball drop and people just drinking or going to NY just to kiss on camera.
Valentine’s Day - Awesome…just to be reminded how single some of us are so all of the mush of couples being shoved in our faces.
St. Patrick’s Day - Just another excuse to go out drinking to most, not as if drinkers turn every other day into drinking.
Easter - Nobody can agree as to the true meaning of this holiday. It’s just seen as yet another excuse to consume candy and go on dinners, kinda what Halloween and Thanksgiving both became more about. Non-religious people think it’s bunny related, religious people believe it belongs to Jesus and whatever. Conflicted holiday, can’t care.
4th of July - America’s Birthday, yeah I’ve not have had a single solitary reason to celebrate America’s birthday at all given the reputation it has gathered as of late and for a while. This is the period of the month where people annoy everyone with their big shopping sprees on fireworks.
No, the holidays I celebrate have some kind of emotional meaning to me. Thanksgiving makes me feel grateful and satisfied, Christmas makes me feel cheerful and connected to others, when I celebrated July 4th it was pride. Without the religious meaning, Easter makes me feel nothing. If anything, it’s awkward and pointless.
Agreed. I was trying to point out to the op who said, “Easter is only a religious holiday” that it too has been twisted in order for businesses to make money.
Atheist here. It’s my excuse to make a dozen hard boiled eggs and hide them for my 8 y/o. He gets an old basket with some jelly beans and we all share some decent chocolate from a nearby candy shop.
It’s just an excuse to have a slightly different Sunday morning once a year.
