No not the end of the world at all and appreciate we're all different in the way we look at things but , Mother's Day, really?

For what it's worth Easter and Xmas don't mean anything to me either but I'll buy into the farce to a degree because at least it merits some bank holidays and I'm all for that.

Birthdays and anniversaries however are there to be celebrated as it's your loved ones and to me that will always mean more than these relative newcomer "occasions" and religious celebrations that the vast majority of us know are plain ridiculous.

I see grandparent day is gathering momentum now as well. Lovely
