National Name a Day Day
We all know Labor Day, April Fool's Day, Groundhog Day and Earth Day. These holidays are nationally known and often make headlines. In our lifetime, we've all probably celebrated one or all of these (one way or another). There are federal, national, religious, secular and lastly, weird and unusually named holidays. If you're taking entries, how do I get my holidays on the list? How do I make it official? I guess my first step is to research if any of my days are already taken.
Not surprisingly, I found that there is a "day" for nearly every day of the year. Some days have multiple celebrations. Most of the strangely named and unusual celebrations are not officially recorded by presidential proclamation or congressional records. Go figure. I did find a few I could get on board with: Book Lovers Day, Eat Outside Day & Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. Some I would not be a supporter of: National Chocolate Covered Insect Day & No Pants Day which is celebrated on the 1st Friday in May, thankfully not at AW. When polled, a few associates came up with celebrations they'd like to add to the list.Read more
