To be fair, I find all of them equally stupid. Only ones I like are those that give a free day at work, and only for that reason.

Heh yea same, I don't really care if it's Leif Erikson Day or Give Mr. Krabs All Your Money Day, I just need to know if it's a day off or not LMAO

Though some are fun, like Valentine's Day often serves as a perfect excuse to have a date night with my SO (though we often tend to actually do it a couple days after or before to avoid everyone else doing Valentine's Day date nights lolol (unless there's a good deal ofc))

(unless there’s a good deal ofc)

There is not. Handing out discounts on one of the biggest consumersim-fueled dates in the year is just not maximizing profit and hence not fit for capitalistic environment.

In the civilised world, it's not called a holiday unless you get a day off work
