Then that's your prerogative. Just like how you feel Nov 11th takes priority over Dec 25th. My guess is that you don't have any friends or family members who differ in creed or religion.
If you feel that strongly for Remembrance day, why limit your mourning to a day? why not just take the whole week?
I'd like to think that the men and women who died would want us to exercise our freedom and enjoy our lives. If I died for my children's freedom, I wouldn't want to handcuff them for a whole day with sadness and grief. I would want them to celebrate life
