Have you ever noticed with the holidays we have each year how they seem to get more and more; how each one gets more elaborate as every year goes by.
We here in Australia seem to get lots of public holidays, now I’m not against them per se but have you noticed how commercalised they get each year.
How some occur on different dates depending on the state one lives in; I have listed the states and territories here for roaming Bloggers to cast their critical eyes at.

Then of course there are those little extra days that whilst I for one do not mind it always seems to end up with extra cash that most cannot afford being spent.
Days like say Mother’s day a deserving thing and then Father’s day bobbed in.
Ok so Dad wanted a look in but I think you are getting the drift.
If you are in your sixties well did you have an Easter Bunny I think not; still I don’t mind that one and I see you chuckle but my wife and I always gave our grandchildren bunnies as soon as they burst on the scene ( no not the kids the bunnies) as we discovered that our grandchildren did not get their Chocolate eggs we bought them; their own parents were scoffing them.
I myself am now waiting a senior citizen’s day twice yearly naturally as apparently we forget days to remember lol
