:lol: Must be a 'god' given coincidence. :roll: I am all for fun holidays. I hate hate hate the christian mentality that tries to take the very joy out of life! And what really ticks me off is they want to pick on fun holidays that children enjoy usually. They never want to pick on holidays they en...
