@cherokeepatti exactly!!! I remember a customer at my work years ago was practically crying because her 4 year old grandson wanted an iPad for Christmas and she couldn't afford it. I looked at her and said " so why don't you simply say no, and not even celebrate this year?" She looked at me like I was crazy. People can't figure me out when I have to ask when holidays are, because I simply don't celebrate any of them.

@Mardrae People don’t even celebrate Jesus as much as they celebrate gift exchanges…I’ve wondered if such celebrations just reinforce materialism in children that they carry throughout their lives and many get deep into credit card debt due to it. Some of my best finds at yard sales are brand-new still in the boxes of things that people said they got as Christmas gifts and never had a use for.

[quote]Known as “Valentine´s herb” the Manjerico is a popular plant of Saint John´s parties in Porto, and Saint Anthony, in Lisbon. According to the manjericos tradition, during the celebrations of the Saints, in June, the boyfriend offers to his girlfriend one Manjerico, a little potted plants of newly sprouted Basil. In addition to the plant, the vessel also carries a paper-mache flowers and a small flag with a popular verse allusive to love. Offer a Manjerico, it’s almost like a vow.
he manjericos tradition says that one should not smell the plant directly, as this makes it dry faster. Therefore, the correct way to feel their fragrance is move your hand gently on the plant and then smell your hand.
The Manjerico is an aromatic plant, and requires much care. [u][b]The girls who receive it must take care of them for a year, until the following year celebration, when it should be replaced[/b][/u].[/quote]

Once a year, we draw the name of one our town's residents out of a hat and then stone that person to death. It's so much fun

@Raine they say that before embalming was a common practice that whenever a grave was dug up to do forensic testing or whatever that sometimes they’d find caskets that had the fabric clawed and shredded up because the person who was presumed dead had woken up. What a horrible thing to happen.
