I wouldn't mind more humor on "serious" blogs/websites all year round if they have the writers who can do it well. But not everybody has to do it.

All these traditions to do something on a specific date often feel a bit forced to me. Especially those imported from other cultures. I would rather things feel more natural and spontaneous, than doing a prank on day x, buy significant other gift on day y, dress up on day z, etc.
