Last night, I saw a commercial for a large chain of party stores advertising a big St. Patrick’s Day sale. They claim they have the best St. Patrick’s Day costumes.
Let me say that again.
They claim they have the best St. Patrick’s Day costumes.
Did I miss something? When did all this nonsense become normal?
A couple of years ago, Easter became a gift-giving holiday (beyond the traditional baskets for the kids). For the last few years, I’ve watched more and more people start to consider Halloween as a day to get together with their families. Now we’re marketing St. Patrick’s Day costumes???
Why are we making such a big deal out of this? Are we, as a nation, so collectively bummed out that we need to turn March 17 into Second Halloween? (And don’t get me started on actual Halloween, which I think is about the dumbest day on the calendar.)
I am so confused.
What are your thoughts? Can you fill me in? What’s going on?
