Today while looking over some notes in the SUB cafeteria I overheard an interesting conversation that made me wonder why we feel the need to celebrate everything! These two students were talking about Tuesday, April 20th being the non-government recognized holiday of national pot smoking day. Imagine that, an entire day dedicated to an herbal substance that is not even legal in most states. This made me curious about other holidays that this world is unaware of. So I went to my favorite research source, Google, and found a list of over 75 holidays for the month of April alone.
Most of them made no sense to why they would be so important that an entire day should be dedicated them. For instance some of the holidays are:
April:
1st- Have fun at work day
2nd- National Peanut Butter and Jelly day
4th- Hug a Newsman day/Walk Around Things day/Tell a Lie day
7th - No Housework day
8th- Draw a Picture of a Bird day
9th- Name Yourself day
11th- Eight Track Tape day
13th- National Scrabble day/Blame Someone Else day
14th- Ex Spouse day
16th- National High Five day/National Eggs Benedict day
19th- National Garlic day
22nd- National Jelly Bean day
24th- Pigs In a Blanket day
26th- Hug an Australian day
27th- Tell a Story day
29th- National Shrimp Scampi day
Now, it may just be me, but it seems like this is a little excessive. These are only part of the listed holidays and for April alone. Who came up with these holidays? Why did they feel like it was worthy of dedicating a whole day? Who celebrates them? And how do I get a National Please Dani's Every Need day?
