Commanded Celebrations

Well now I am reminded on FB that it is 'Friend's Day'. Soon it will be 'President's Day'. (It used to be Washington's birthday but now of course we aren't so exclusive as to have a whole day for Washington so that the President's Day on the door of our library has the duo of Washington and Obama as representatives.) We have Secretary's day, Grandparent's day, Mother's day, Father's day, children's day, Veteran's day, boss's day...Most recent additions according to our 'openness' to sexual 'freedom' (what used to be called 'license') are 'Gay Pride day (actually these folks get an entire month) , and no doubt forthcoming will be 'Trans-gender day', 'Trans-species day', 'Non-traditional Family day', 'Celebration of Divorce day', 'Sexual Ed Teachers day'... and you can add your own. I am just so grateful that I am reminded by the totalitarian calendar-makers what I must celebrate.
