Subject: RE: BS: Kwanza is an invented non-holiday
Now Mothers' Day, and even more, Fathers' Day, they really are made-up commercial operations. Mother's Day does have some roots, true enough, but Father's Day! It hasn't ever really taken off here. I don't even know when it is, but the shops do try.

I believe in the USA you even have people trying to work up "Grandparents Day", which seems a bit redunadant, since you can't be a Grandparent without being a Mother or a Father.
