You're right, Bruce. We look for any excuse to throw a celebration and businesses will look for any excuse to hold special deals or find other means to commercialize it. People seem to just forget that there's history behind all of our holidays. The other day, I was discussing holidays with someone and I brought up the fact that St. Patrick's Day was, you know, a saint's feast day. They were shocked. I sort of thought that was common knowledge...I mean, "saint" is in the title. (Not that our present celebrations really have anything to do with Saint Patrick anymore.)
