Are Mothers Day, Fathers Day Valentines Day, etc "Hallmark holidays" where it's just another corporate scam for consumers to spend money on?

[DrPepper12]

Has the history and tradition of these holidays been corrupted out of all meaning and value?

Are these just another acceptable loss and cultural victim to sacrifice on the altar of capitalism?

Are St. Patrick's, 4th of July, Halloween just more victims?

Have Memorial Day, Labor Day and Veterans day become grotesque illusions of what the day was supposed to be and the cause is corporate greed and rapacious capitalism?

All depends on how you celebrate those holidays. You can waste money on pointless gifts or make the most of those days and fill them with love and memories
