It’s a tricky one.

I have to choose between religion and the USA.

You see, most of the holidays and festivals in England have traditional religious roots. Religious roots that I do not believe in, or care about.

The thing is, those happy North Americans love celebrating anything pointless, and invented “Mother’s Day” about 100 years ago.  Hence all the cards we can now buy.

So, do I send my mum a card based on pointless religion, or pointless American festivals?
