Holidays have just never been that big of a deal to me. For the sake of not hurting the feelings of other's who do care about them, I try to at least send a card, or call and wish a Happy Birthday/Mother's Day/etc. However, if people don't acknowledge mine, I'm not bothered in the least. I just think the idea of needing one specific day to do something thoughtful for another person is silly. We should all do things for each other everyday simply because we care enough about the person to do so, not because a date on a calendar says so.
