Thanksgiving -- Day of reflection upon our fortune.Thanksgiving began as a religious holiday. Unfortunately, keeping businesses open on holidays like Christmas or Good Friday would bring commerce to a screeching halt as a large percentage of the workforce just won't make it in. Good Friday? Good Friday is not even a required church day. And it's not even an ounce commercialized, like Christmas has been. Good Friday is strictly a religious day, but without any fanfare. It's not a required church day, and while services are said, mass is not performed in Catholic Churches. And when do things close on Good Friday? Valentine's Day, Halloween, Mother's Day and Father's Day are all piles of dreck holidays meant to extort money from us or contrived to forcibly celebrate something that should be celebrated without the need for a specific day Those are all "Hallmark" holidays. The church has even totally disassociated itself from St Valentine's day. It began too as a religious day, but it is now only 100% secular. |
