		<description><![CDATA[
I recall from my youth that Valentine&#8217;s Day in elementary school involved mass distribution of store-bought valentines. With the exception of this awesome little robot and a few other handmade valentines my daughter received, store-bought is still the standard.
It  seems the corporations have succeeded in making Valentine&#8217;s Day another Halloween. The valentines she brought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year I&#8217;m not overcompensating with a dozen roses or giving a poetic  single rose.  My wife is getting a single bottle of Sweet Blossom soda made with rose petals.
Unfortunately, a 12-hour drive to Galco&#8217;s Soda Pop Stop in Los Angeles isn&#8217;t feasible at the present time, so I ordered the bottle from Galco&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received my Super Bowl dose picking up a pizza at a pizza parlor Sunday evening. I&#8217;d brought a newspaper to read during my wait, but got the distinct impression a drunk patron was going to take offense at my reading during his time of inflated excitement.
Later, I tried explaining the special day to my [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve previously discussed commercial products and services such as text messages from Santa and Santa evidence kits. The following service tops them all:

		<description><![CDATA[On this, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, let us reflect upon the mind of a toddler, steadfast in determination, resolute that he is defying an unjust law. As he acknowledges his coming punishment, his body goes limp and attempts to defy being picked up, flopping around like a wet noodle.

In that way, your child joins [...]]]></description>

Update: Or show them the celebrations the day afterward.

		<description><![CDATA[I initially refrained from posting this song because of its potential to be offensive, but from my reader poll earlier this year I know there are folks who will also appreciate it. I found it while looking for a Christmas video to post instead of, you know, writing something.
