365 Holidays

Lady Dragonfly · Post by **Lady Dragonfly** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:23 pm

Do you like your holidays?

According to Conservap… just kidding, Wikipedia:

Public Holidays of the United States:

“Strictly speaking, the United States does not have national holidays (i.e. days where all employees in America receive a day free from work and all business is halted). The federal government only recognizes national holidays that pertain to its own employees”.

Whatever. I am still going to enjoy my Law Day (April 7), my Loyalty Day (May 1), my National Day of Prayer (First Thursday in May), and my Groundhog Day (February 2). There are about three dozen Days out there, including Christmas and National Catfish Day (celebrating "the value of farm-raised catfish”).

Sad thing, I don’t receive a day-off to observe most of these wonderful Days. I can see (barely) why I am expected to work my tail off on Loyalty Day (while relaxing on Labor day), but on my Groundhog Day???? Really, really sad. And wrong.

Anyways, as I said before, folks, I still enjoy my holidays. And methinks three dozen Days ain’t nearly enough. Of course, there are more Days in America than in Barbados, Norway and Pakistan combined, but still… After all, we’ve got 365 days. Over 300 days are wasted. It’s downright sad and just plain wrong.

We the People should convert these boring days into Days:

1. National Abstinence Day – ain’t sound like fun, but think about it: you are gonna get a lot of brownie points plus it is the Abstinence Day, not the Abstinence Night;

2. Dumb Neighbors and their Ugly Kids Appreciation Day;

3. WallMart Day (International Holiday);

4. National Identity Theft Day;

5. Just Expired Warranty Day;

6. Government Adoration Day;

7. The Morning-After Day;

8. Pay Day;

9. Nay Day…

Any other ideas?

I read this as Government Abortion Day and was very disappointed when I realized I read wrong.

31 Mundane and Ordinary Day
- To, for once a year, realise what beautiful things our taken-for-granted world has to offer, in which citizens go about their routine day, but praise in awe everything that is not abnormal.
32 Abnormality Day
- A day in which all citizens must try their hardest to avoid anything that would be considered standard, expected or normal.
33 Sad Day
- Save up all your sadness to release it on this very special day, reserved for sadness, so it doesn't need to bother you in your production efforts the rest of the year.
34 Commemoration Celebration Day
- On this day we celebrate our ability to pay respect and homage to all those heroes and events that have helped shape our world.

You are so wrong. We do. Actually, we have two National Days to observe on December 7:

1) National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

and

2) National Civil Aviation Day.

And if you decide to move from Florida to Delaware, you would get a chance to observe the third one: Delaware was the first state to join the Union on December 7, 1787.

Plus, Hanukkah - December 5 - 12 (in 2007).

-------------------------------
61) Cook the Cook Day
62) Swim with the Fishes Day
63) Slippery Slope Day

And yet, I never got a day off for the day, nor has any calendar that I have ever seen marked such a holiday on that date. I am so wrong...

64.) National White Awareness Day
65.) Day of Silly Putty
66.) Dia de la Noche (Night Day)
