a day to celebrate love? again, just a money making scheme


7. do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day. WHY

No, because you're mum went through hell to get you here, you're dad just waited outside, people respect that as (even though this is steriotypical and a generalization) well as the fact that it is usually the mother who raises the child.

No, many non religious people celebrate as its fun for their children

no idea

[Cerry]

1. Age, gender, religion
18, Female, not religious


2. Do you selebrate any religious holidays?
Yes. We do Christmas and Easter, and since coming back from Germany last year, I'm trying to convince my parents to do Nikolaus Tag


3. What do you believe the meaning of Australia day is?
It commemorates the day captain cook landed at Botany Bay...but in all in seriousness, I'd say it's more about the public holiday than anything else (actually, as far as I'm concerned, it just means JJJ hottest 100 day)


4. What is ANZAC day about?
It commemorates the day that we landed at Gallipoli/all the soldiers who have died in wars


5. Do you feel that mothers day is there to clebrate the things that you mum has done, or to buy her presents?
Aknowledging the things mum has done, which in our house means that we give her presents and someone else cooks dinner, as a thank you sort of thing


6. What is Valentine's day?
The biggest load of commercial crap ever. At least, the way it's celebrated today is. If you love someone, then you shouldn't have to wait until Valentine's day to tell them - spontaneous gifts etc are much more meaningful than gifts that are given because someone feels obliged.


7. Do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day? Why/Why not?
I can't actually tell you what day father's day is...mother's day is the second Sunday in May though. And I think that father's day is less of a big deal because there's still a view that women look after kids, and men are breadwinners, and they therefore do less for kids than mothers. So basically, fathers get less aknowledgment for their work.


8. Is easter exclusively christian? Why/Why not?
I'm pretty sure they actually scabbed the day from some pagan festival, actually. But no, not really. I know plenty of non religious/non christian families who do easter.


9. When is the Queen's birthday?
The second Monday in June, I think. Maybe third. Definitely a Monday in June though, because it's pretty much the only long weekend that schools aren't on holidays for. Not sure when the Queen's real birthday is, mind you.


10. What is christmas all about?
In christian tradition, it marks the birth of Jesus. But in secular society, it's basically just an excuse to give presents


11. is easter exclusively christian, why (You've put this question in twice)


12. What is boxing day?
The day after Christmas. It's now basically a day for travelling back from visiting family/recovering from all the Christmas drinking. Also, some of the best sales of the year. But I THINK it used to be the day that people gave their servants gifts.


13. Do you think we should celebrate halloween? Why/Why not?
I don't really have anything against it. Although, letting little kids run around without adult supervision isn't real bright, so I don't support young kids trick or treating by themselves.


14. Do you feel that there are to many holidays?
I feel ripped off at the number of public holidays that happen during school holidays in NSW. In Victoria, you normally get a 4 day weekend for Melbourne Cup day, as well as a long weekend for labour day, and Queen's birthday. I miss my extra 3 days off school...

16, female, none


2. do you selebrate any religious holidays
I celebrate Christmas/Easter and that, but not because of the religion


3. what do you beleive is the meaning of australia day
To get together with all your South African mates and have drunken D&Ms about patriotism. Or at least that's the way my parents celebrate it


4. what is anzac day about
Commemorating and remembering soldiers who have died and fought in wars



5. do you feel that mothers day is there to clebrate the things that you mum has done or buying her presents
I am way too broke to buy her presents, and have to show my love some other way. Mother's day is therefore the one time in the year I wake up early and try my skills in the kitchen, making...toast. They don't even trust me with the tea anymore


6. what is valentines day
A day for lovers and cynical people...


7. do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day. WHY
No, not really. For instance, I don't make toast on Fathers Day Seriously, I think it's because it's so much easier to "spoil" a mother, but fathers you can't really spoil, I guess. So it doesn't work out.





8. is easter exclusively christian, why
No, Easter is exclusively Chocolatarian



9. when is the queens birthday
Don't know, don't care. It's a day off school and that's all I need to know



10. what is christmas all about
Getting presents, wearing embarrassing Santa outfits, being with family and friends. In that order...



11. is easter exclusively christian, why
No, Easter is exclusively Chocolatarian (if you can repeat yourself, so can I :uhhuh:


12. what is boxing day
The day after Christmas...


13. do you think we should celebrate halloween, why
If people want to, then let them, if they don't, well that's their business

an excuse to get love heart lollies and have sex

2. do you selebrate any religious holidays

Yes

3. what do you beleive is the meaning of australia day

A celebration of all things Australian. Good excuse to get together with Family and friends. Helps unite everyone.

Remembering those ANZACS who gave their lives for this country. It's about being thankful and paying due respect.


5. do you feel that mothers day is there to clebrate the things that you mum has done or buying her presents

ermmm both?

6. what is valentines day

A day to celebrate love i guess. I don't really see it as an important day.

7. do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day. WHY

Hmmm, i don't think it's given hype by the media as much as mothers day. I think mothers, being this huge maternal figure who usually stick around for a while even if the father walks out or whatever (huge generalization i know) are given more attention. Like when people want to insult you they say "you mum!" not "your dad!" lol


8. is easter exclusively christian, why

No. It can be seen as a general celebration of new life (and chocolate)


9. when is the queens birthday

somewhere in June

The birth of Jesus

remembering our soldiers who went to war


5. do you feel that mothers day is there to clebrate the things that you mum has done or buying her presents
yeah, both of those things. just one way to say thanks for everything mums do.


6. what is valentines day
over-rated lol. a day for people to celebrate their love for each other. i think its kinda stupid, as people can show that every day and companies just use it to make money.


7. do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day. WHY
no, but i'm not sure why.

no, because although there is religious reasons behind it, Easter is now also about chocolate and easter eggs, which anyone can celebrate.



9. when is the queens birthday
would not have a clue.



10. what is christmas all about
Christmas is really about Jesus being born, but heaps of people dont see it as that. i think for many (including me) its more a reason to hang out with family and give/receive presents.

i already answered that lol. ..did you mean to write xmas instead of easter?


12. what is boxing day
the day after Christmas.. a day to relax after the excitement of xmas day.


13. do you think we should celebrate halloween, why
i think thats up to the individual. personally, i do celebrate it as i know a lot of my neighbours so have been going trick or treating since i was about 10. (and still go now, to take my sister.) i dont think its as important as the other holidays mentioned above, and it is probably more for Americans, but kids enjoy it, so why not!


14. do you feel that there are to many holidays
nope, i reckon we could do with some more lol

remembering the sacrafice that our "diggers" made?


5. do you feel that mothers day is there to clebrate the things that you mum has done or buying her presents
mothers day is a bit of both. its a good excuse to celebrate the work shes done for you, but really every year becomes the biggest marketing excuse ever.


6. what is valentines day
again, like mothers day, a good excuse for girls to feel all loved (if they have a significant other) or feel completely depressed (if they're single - happy single awareness day?), but again, a marketing excuse.

7. do you feel fathers day is as big as mothers day. WHY
umm, i guess its the same?


8. is easter exclusively christian, why
i wouldnt think so. everyone loves chocolate.


9. when is the queens birthday
no clue in hell.
all i know is that this year i got paid double time and a half, and used all the tip money to buy us all lunch. =D



10. what is christmas all about
presents, i could be my good christian self and say remembering the death of our lord and all that. but like ALL the previously mentioned "holidays" its a marketing excuse.



11. is easter exclusively christian, why
didnt i already get asked this?



12. what is boxing day
really, now THAT is a bludge day. no questions asked.
national hangover recovery day.


13. do you think we should celebrate halloween, why
no, its too american now. but then again, its an excuse for another holiday, so sure.


14. do you feel that there are to many holidays

haha nooo way. as much as i hate the whole marketing thing, I GET A DAY OFF! or get paid more...either way. =D
