Grandparents Day?

Just had a email from funkypidgeon, its grandparents day this Sunday.

I have never heard of this, does anyone here celebrate it?

I think its more of an American thing but I'm not sure.

Probably another event invented by greetings card companies to make money. If you love your grandparents do something special for them. You don't need a designated day to buy an overpriced card for them.

Never heard of it, going to be cynical and go with marketing companies trying to milk people on a bogus holiday.

Yup. Same for Mothers, Fathers, Valentines and others.

Never heard of it, I'm sure the card companies etc will push it if they can, another chance to make money!

Don't have any anyway but this is a card company scam.

Instead of sending a card going to see Grandparents is always much more appreciated from what I remember, mine loved it when we came to visit
