Solomon Grundy,

Born on Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday,

Took ill on Thursday,

Worse on Friday,

Died on Saturday,

Buried on Sunday:

This is the end

Of Solomon Grundy.

All these festivals have become meaningless at some level because of commercialism. It's a pity really because the idea of punctuating the year with special days and festivals is a good one. I don't know what the answer is, especially when they are all much of a muchness and aside from the 'colour' code the cards are interchangeable from one festival to the next. I hope there is an answer though that makes these days more fun again.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

No idea what this poll is about, but we don't celebrate Valentine's Day at all. We are kind and loving to each other EVERY day and don't need an occasion to spend way too much money and get bad service at an over-booked restaurant for dinner to prove our love for each other.

Valentine's Day will be like any other day in our house.... always has been, always will be.
