Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day and Easter are legitimate. But I draw the line at celebrating at Fruitcake toss Day, or Penquin Awareness Day. ( Actually recognized days ). National Oatmeal Day is in good taste, but the card sticks to the roof of my mouth. Of course, there are those special days that cry out for a Hallmark card such as National Kazoo Day and National Bubba Day. I always by cards for all the Bubba's in my life.
Does the tail wag the dog? Does Hallmark match existing holidays, or do they make up ones to stay in business?
In the case of "Yahoo Greetings"?
It is almost clearly apparent - the tail wags the dog . . .
Have you seen how each day of the year is designated as a 'holiday' day, worthy of individual recognition? and commemorated with it's own card offering? For use of 'paid' subscribers, naturally.
Actually tho, the American Card greetings choices are sometimes quite unusual, and worthy of some consideration! e.g. - the 'talking chins' card for Thanksgiving (really cute) - and it's able to be viewed, even if NOT a paid subscriber to the service.
Reply:I always wondered if Grandparents day was real. I think that one was made up.
Reply:If you want to share your love and stick it to the man at the same time, bypass the system. Make a home-made greeting...if she likes you then she'll like the way you express yourself.
FYI: December 2nd is Eat a Red Apple Day.
Reply:Hallmark does not make up holidays. They must already be recognized by...whoever makes holidays legitimate. There truly are some pretty weird holidays that seem fake, but somebody did make them real. It's really stupid though, because no one is gonna celebrate them, or buy the cards, unless they're like..obssessed with kazoos, or an ice cream addict or something. bwahaha.
by the way, grandparent's day is just as real as mother's or father's day. the only difference is that it is less celebrated.
