Happy Poppy day???
You know over the last week I have heard quite a few people make this reference. "I hope you have a Happy Poppy day, or have a Happy Remembrance day." Is it just me, or has someone who has made this statement truly ignorant to the actual meaning of the holiday. I can understand with goofball dorkstick fantasy based holidays like Easter and Halloween and Christmas which have been diluted into marketing machines for kids, but I find it almost tasteless to refer to remembrance day as "Happy Poppy Day!!". Has the meaning of Nov 11th already been diluted into a free day off for most people already? One guy I work with was actually ignorant enough to say he will honor the vets by playing "Call of Duty" today.
