Wait, don't divisions not matter as it's just the top-10 teams that get into our playoffs? Or am I missing something...?
Also...Not sure about the whole "happy" Veterans/Remembrance Day thing.
Maybe it's different in Canada. Kind of a somber day and a day to remember, not celebrate.
Maybe in the USA it's all about celebrating your troops in general?
I'm not actually really concerned about what division I'm in. And after missing the playoffs for 2 straight seasons, I don't even remember anymore.
Veteran's day in the USA probably should be more somber than it is, but usually it's about whatever new Hollywood war movie is out or car dealership sales. Plus in the US there is lots of celebrating the troops as a general sentiment, but it seems more like lip service. The NFL teams wear special uniforms and more people say "thank you for your service" than usual. But the troops are more often co-opted for political means than purely patriotic ones.
"happy" is usually the generic term for any holiday in the USA, people even say happy Labor Day, which is supposed to be a commemoration of the strength of workers and the success of unions, but is really just another day people don't really get or think about. People say "happy" everything, except Christmas for some reason where it has to be "merry" and oh boy, don't get caught saying happy holidays around Christmas or you might get chewed out for being too PC.
