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.

    Dutchie here. Apart from the purely religious (easer, whitsuntide, etc) and commercial ones (e.g. Valentine’s day), I really loathe King’s Day. It is the day that our propogandists expect us to ‘celebrate’ our monarchy. They ‘mingle’ among the people (that is, they are paraded around waving at dumb fucks in orange clothes) and ‘spontenously’ join in old-timey games with said dumb fucks. It’s a celebration of nationalism and nostalgia -in-an-icky-way.

    Another one is Liberation Day. I am anti-fascist and my grandparents witnessed the horrors of WW2 first hand, so I appreaciate the idea of it. However, it is not an official bank holiday as the employers’ lobby decided it was not and with a former ultra right gorvernment, it has lost all meaning to me.
