Who Needs Holidays

Listen to poem:
Do we really need a holiday to say i love you
Do we really need a date to do the things we do
Spend money on a gift anytime of the year
Do we really need the fourth of July to relax and have a beer
Valentine's Day is here so you express your love
Any day is priceless when it comes to kisses and hugs
Mothers day should be everyday not just a day in May   
Call her or send a card and express your love in different ways
I guess the month of June is a set time for your father
If this is the only time you cherish your parents why even bother
Parents spend time with their kids and give out candy most feen
Is that the only close time you spend because its Halloween
Lets not talk about Christmas because Christ isn't getting the gifts
If its about him why complain, keep receipts and have misfits 
Thanksgiving is a meal that shouldn't be done annually but every week
So without holidays it seems family time would be bleak.

Hey welcome to PS Keyonda! As for me, I haven't celebrated holidays in over forty years. You make a good point about treating one another special every day, without compulsion

Thank you for your feedback on this. I always wondered if there were anyone else who felt the way I did on the subject. Awesome feedback. As always, I needed that.
